In the early morning of August 11, the women's football gold medal was decided at the Paris Olympics. With Swanson's goal, the US women's football team won the championship with a 1:0 victory over the Brazilian women's football team. This is also their fifth Olympic championship, the most championships won by a team.
In this match, Brazilian star Marta returned from suspension. Brazil performed very well throughout the game and completely suppressed the US women's football team in the first half. In the 16th minute, Ludmila broke into the penalty area and shot from a small angle, but the referee signaled offside and the goal was invalid. After that, both sides had good chances to score, but unfortunately they failed to seize them. In the second half, Coffey assisted Swanson to break the deadlock on the field, and then Marta came on as a substitute. Although the Brazilian team strengthened its offense, it failed to score. At the end of the game, the US women's football team defeated Brazil 1:0 and won the gold medal in the women's football event at the Paris Olympics.
Statistics show that the U.S. women's soccer team has won five Olympic titles and four World Cup titles, while other teams in the world have only won eight titles in these two events. Although Brazil is a strong team in the world, they have never won an Olympic or World Cup gold medal, and the 38-year-old Brazilian star Marta also bid farewell to the national team after this game, which made the Brazilian team's game full of sadness. Marta played for the Brazilian women's soccer team for 22 years in her career, making 201 appearances and scoring 119 goals. Yangtze Evening News/Ziniu News reporter Zhang Chenyan Zhang Hao
