USWNT beats Germany to clinch Olympic quarterfinal spot

[patotya]

The United States women rolled to a 4-1 win over Germany in Olympic soccer on Sunday in Group B, assuring they will have a spot in the quarterfinals after two wins from two games. The U.S. attack was dominant in the first half in Marseille, with Sophia Smith scoring twice and Mallory Swanson tapping home the rebound from a stellar strike from Smith for the Americans' third goal of the half, while Germany briefly levelled the score on a long-distance shot by Giulia Gwinn. The Americans are playing their first major tournament under new coach Emma Hayes, who took over the U.S. team in late May. Hayes is tasked with leading the Americans as they seek to distance themselves from the disappointment of last summer's Women's World Cup, when they crashed out in the round of 16. The USWNT is the winningest team in the Olympics, with four gold medals.
