The USWNT beat Japan 1-0 thanks to a superb goal by Trinity Rodman in extra time.
Trinity Rodman showed off her individual brilliance by scoring a stunning goal in extra time to lift the U.S. women's national team to a 1-0 victory over Japan in the Paris Olympics quarterfinal on Saturday. With the dramatic win, the Americans will advance to the semifinal on Tuesday where they will face Germany, which beat Canada in a penalty shootout on Saturday. Rodman's goal, as gorgeous as it was, was by no means indicative of the USWNT's overall performance, however.
For all the criticism that Hayes will get for not having enough rotation in this match, Rodman's goal serves as a reminder of why the coach wanted to keep one of her best players on the field. Rodman, as well as the rest of the team, looked sloppy most of the game, turning the ball over often due to heavy touches on the ball. But the young forward only needed this one moment to send the U.S. to the semifinal.
