A controversial penalty call helped the United States women’s national team extend its unbeaten streak with a 1-1 draw against Sweden in Stockholm on Saturday.
After the U.S. trailed by a goal for most of the match, defender Kelley O’Hara pulled a ball out wide in the box to launch a last-minute attack. Sweden’s Sofia Jakobsson crashed into O’Hara from behind, sending her sprawling to the ground.
The decision drew controversy from fans and analysts on the broadcast because O’Hara appeared to step out of the box during the contact, which would call for a free kick rather than a penalty.
