LYON, France -- It took extra work yet again, but the U.S. women's national team will play for the gold medal after outlasting a resilient Germany, 1-0, in a semifinal here on Tuesday night.
Sophia Smith burst into the spotlight just in time for the Americans, scoring the game-winner in the 96th minute to send the U.S. to the ultimate match of this Olympic tournament on Saturday in Paris. They will face either Brazil or Spain, who were to play later Tuesday in the other semifinal.
