USWNT wins its fifth Olympic gold medal in women's soccer with a 1-0 victory over Brazil in final

The U.S. women's soccer team won its fifth Olympic gold medal by beating Brazil 1-0 on Mallory Swanson's early second-half goal in the tournament final Saturday at the Paris Games.

Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher preserved the win with a one-handed save on Adriana's header in stoppage time at Parc des Princes. At the final whistle, the U.S. players celebrated as Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." played in the stadium.

"I'm very emotional. It's been a dream of mine to be in this position," said Hayes, a London native. "I have to thank my dad because he's the one who pushed me to this point to be able to come and coach an unbelievable group of players that have received me so well and taken on board everything I have asked. They are tremendous people and players and role models. Yeah, I love them."
