The U.S. men's soccer team has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Olympic men's soccer tournament for the first time since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, securing a 3-0 victory over Guinea. Djordje Mihailovic and Kevin Paredes were instrumental, with Mihailovic scoring a free kick in the 14th minute and Paredes adding two goals, one in the 31st and another in the 75th minute. This win placed the U.S. second in Group A, behind France, who will face Argentina next. The U.S. will compete against Morocco in the quarterfinals. The team had a strong group stage, rebounding from an opening loss to France with wins over New Zealand and Guinea, despite missing key player Gianluca Busio due to injury.
