Olympics soccer winners today: USWNT’s 4-1 rout of Germany one of six Sunday matches in Paris
The match began with high intensity, as both teams aimed to secure their spot in the quarterfinals. The USWNT, coming off a 3-0 win over Zambia, continued their strong form. Forward Sophia Smith, who had been questionable due to a minor injury, played a key role in the victory. The Americans took an early lead with a goal from Alex Morgan, followed by goals from Megan Rapinoe, Rose Lavelle, and Lindsey Horan, who sealed the emphatic win.
Germany, despite their solid start in the tournament, struggled to contain the relentless pressure from the USWNT. Their lone goal came in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to mount a comeback against the well-organized American defense.
This victory not only strengthens the USWNT’s position in the group but also boosts their confidence as they aim for their first Olympic gold since 2012. The team’s cohesive performance and strategic execution were evident throughout the match, highlighting their readiness for the challenges ahead in the knockout stages (NBC Olympics).
