Olympics 2024: The USWNT Wins 5th Gold, Defeating Brazil 1-Nil

“Three times is a pattern”, as the (not entirely on point) saying goes. For the third time, the United States Women’s National Team faced Brazil in the gold medal match at the Summer Olympics (2004, 2008, and 2024). And, for the third time, the USA claimed gold, while Brazil and Marta had to settle for silver, with Germany securing a bronze medal as consolation. Also, for the third time in as many matches, The USWNT won by the slimmest of margins, 1-nil, on a goal scored by one of the starting front three. Additionally, this is the third time since the introduction of the women’s soccer tournament (1996) that the Summer Olympics was hosted by a European country, and once again, the USA won gold on European soil (2004 in Greece, 2012 in the United Kingdom, and 2024 in France).

Olympics 2024: The USWNT and Brazil Advance to the Gold Medal Match – Semifinals Recap and Highlights

Semifinals bracket

Rematches in the knockout stage of a tournament rarely play out the same way as the earlier group stage match. The United States Women’s National Team understands that axiom all too well, as they had faced a group stage opponent in a knockout or medal match five previous times at the Olympics, losing only once (2000, versus Norway in the gold medal match).

For the USA, this time around, there would be no dominant victory against their group stage opponent, Germany. But, there would be a victory, thanks to an extra-time heroine, just as there was in the quarterfinal match against Japan.

Reigning Women’s World Cup champions Spain, who were debutantes at this year’s Summer Olympics, got a harsh lesson in that reality when a makeshift and spirited Brazil, buoyed by an early own goal, got their second straight upset win.
