Watch the goal and save that won the USWNT the Paris Olympics gold medal match
A stellar goal and a stunning save helped separate the Untied States from Brazil in the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medal match for women's soccer.
The USA took the gold in a 1-0 decision, sparked by forward Mallory Swanson's electric goal in the second half and goalie Alyssa Naeher's absolutely crucial save in stoppage time that could've evened the score.
Saturday's win gave the United States women's national team its first set of gold medals since the 2012 London Olympics, making this a historic 12-year gap erasure for the Americans. It's the fifth gold in the program's history.
That wouldn't be possible without Swanson and Naeher's absolute vital plays, which you can watch below.
