In a thrilling match against Germany, the US women's soccer team secured their spot in the gold medal match thanks to Sophia Smith's 95th-minute goal and a stellar performance by goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, who kept a clean sheet throughout the game.
Team USA will now face either Brazil or Spain in the final for a chance to claim the gold medal. The outcome of the Brazil-Spain game, scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. ET, will determine their opponent.
Having already clinched the bronze in Tokyo, the US team is now guaranteed to leave Paris with either a silver or gold medal, making them the only Tokyo medalists still in contention. The team's success can be attributed to the return of key players such as Tierna Davidson, who has recovered from injury, and Sam Coffey, who is back in action following her suspension.
The US women's soccer team will battle for the gold on Saturday at 11 a.m. ET, with high hopes of adding another prestigious medal to their collection.
