Trinity Rodman poked a rebound into the back of the net in the 43rd minute, Korbin Albert added her first United States Women’s National Team goal, and the American soccer squad defeated Australia 2–1 on Wednesday, July 31, to sweep Group B at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
A corner lofted to the front of a crowded box landed close to Rodman, who pushed the loose ball with her right foot to break a scoreless start that led to a 10-minute delay caused by malfunctions related to the video replay-system. The goal was ultimately confirmed following the delay to review a potential offside violation on Sam Coffey.
