The United States Women's National Soccer Team won their first Olympic title in 12 years Saturday, defeating Brazil 1-0 in the gold medal match at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

Forward Mallory Swanson made the difference for Team USA, taking a long pass from Korbin Albert and beating Brazilian goalkeeper Lorena in the 57th minute for the first and only goal of the match:

There was some question regarding whether Swanson was offside when the pass was made, but it was upheld, and it proved to be all the USWNT needed to prevail.
