The United States Women's National Team (USWNT) advanced to the semifinals of the 2024 Paris Olympics after a dramatic 1-0 victory over Japan in extra time. The decisive moment came from Trinity Rodman, who scored a stunning left-footed goal in the first half of extra time, with 15 minutes to go. Rodman's goal, described as a 'work of art,' was crucial in a tightly contested match that saw few clear chances for either side. The victory secures the USWNT's place in the final four, where they will face either Canada or Germany. The match was held at the Parc des Princes, and the goal has been widely celebrated as a defining moment for Rodman in the tournament. Dennis Rodman, Mia Hamm, and Megan Rapinoe were noted to be proud and cheering in the stands.
