After a narrow win over Japan in the quarter-finals of the Olympic women’s soccer tournament, Emma Hayes’ USWNT are two steps away from gold.
The United States women’s national team (USWNT) will face Germany next at the Paris Olympics, after beating Japan in the quarter-finals of the women’s soccer tournament.
In a tight contest at the Parc des Princes on Saturday, the USWNT needed an extra-time winner from Trinity Rodman to edge out the Japanese 1-0 in the French capital.
