The United States recovers and defeats New Zealand in women’s football القدم

Saitama, JapanThe Americans recovered from their opening loss with a 6-1 win over New Zealand against the first lady on Saturday morning in the women’s soccer tournament at the Tokyo Olympics.

With the US leading 2-0 at the end of the first half, Jill Biden arrived just in time to see the team finish the game in the second half at Saitama Stadium.

The United States stunned Sweden in the first match, losing 3-0. This was the team’s first loss since January 2019 and they went 44 games unbeaten in a row. Americans have not been without goals since 2017.

But the Americans promised to take back control of the tournament. Defender Kelly O’Hara said the United States should be “tough” against New Zealand.

And they were cruel.

It could have been worse for New Zealand, but the US had four disallowed goals, all offside, in the first half.

American coach Vlatko Andonovsky made five changes to the starting lineup he used against Sweden, giving Carli Lloyd the lead over Morgan, Megan Rapinoe for the press, Ertes for Sam Mewes, Emily Sonnett for O’Hara and Terna Davidson over captain Becky Sauerbrunn.

The United States, World Cup champions, has participated in every Olympic Games since women’s football joined the event in 1996. The world’s highest-ranked team has won five gold medals, more than any other country.

New Zealand lost to Australia 2-1 in their opening match and reduced Ferns’ chances of reaching the knockout stage with a loss on Saturday.
