The United States women's football team has secured a place in the Paris 2024 Olympic final after a thrilling victory over Germany. The match, held in Lyon, was tightly contested, ending 0-0 in regular time. The decisive moment came in extra time when Sophia Smith scored the only goal in the 95th minute.
Smith, receiving a well-placed pass from Mallory Swanson, skillfully navigated past German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger to put the U.S. ahead. The match remained intense until the very end, with Alyssa Naeher making a crucial save in the final moments, stopping a powerful shot from Germany's Laura Freigang to secure the win.
With this victory, the U.S. team, already boasting four Olympic gold medals in women’s football, now advances to the final, where they will face either Brazil or Spain on August 10 at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
Germany, meanwhile, will compete for the bronze medal on August 9 in Lyon, facing the loser of the other semifinal match.
