After weathering a wave of dangerous last-ditch efforts from Australia, the U.S. women’s national team left Stade de Marseille on Wednesday with three points and a 2–1 win over the Matildas. The result secures a first-place Group B finish and a three-game sweep for the Americans. The only other time the USWNT logged three wins in three group-stage matches at the Olympics was in 2012 when the U.S. took home gold.
