The US Women's National Team, under the guidance of new head coach Emma Hayes, secured their fifth Olympic gold medal in women's soccer with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Brazil at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
The decisive moment came in the second half when forward Mallory Swanson found the back of the net after a brilliant through-ball from Korbin Albert breached the Brazilian defense. Swanson, in her 100th appearance for the US, displayed composure to slot the ball past goalkeeper Lorena, with a subsequent VAR check confirming her well-timed run.
