Jeff Rueter and Steph Yang dissect how the U.S. took the top spot in Group B with one game to go. Swanson crashed the box for the second U.S. goal, catching Smith’s rebounding shot off Germany goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger. In the second half, everyone was looking tired, especially with no rotation in the starting XI from the first game. For a second straight game, Williams was brought on late to ice the game as a pressing-minded forward. Ultimately, Sonnet looked the part throughout the second half.

It was a well-deserved opening after the U.S. had hammered at Zambia’s goal for 15 minutes straight, including two attempts off the crossbar and a first-minute toe-poke from Lindsey Horan that went just wide. 🤯 📺 USA Network & Peacock | #ParisOlympics pic.twitter.com/Dnx2xioNTC — NBC Olympics & Paralympics (@NBCOlympics) July 25, 2024Following Trinity Rodman’s opening goal, Zambia’s defense was caught in two minds. The additional open terrain catered to the dynamic forward line of Swanson, Smith and Rodman, as the trio weaved about to find pockets to exploit. After the game, Hayes said the decision was down to mitigating risks.

Dupont suffered the injury in the 46th minute and was forced off the field at the Stade de Marseille on Thursday after a clash of heads in a clumsy tackle. Deysel, whose initial yellow card was quickly upgraded to a red on bunker review, said the collision was accidental. "I would like to extend my best wishes to Antoine Dupont," he told reporters. In relation to Deysel's abuse, World Rugby said on Friday that they would "support Namibia in any way possible to stamp out online hate." At the time, World Rugby CEO Alan Gilpin said: "Rugby is a sport for everyone and we take our responsibility very seriously to make the sport as inclusive, accessible and relevant as possible.
