USWNT wins Olympic thriller over Netherlands to reach semifinals | New York Post

Facing the same situation in the same spot that led to a stunning exit five years ago,, the United States women's soccer team survived penalty kicks Friday and beat the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. The teams played to a 2-2 tie through regulation and two extra periods before the USWNT prevailed with a 4-2 edge in penalty kicks. Alyssa Naeher saved two penalty kicks, on top of one in regulation that would have sunk the USWNT, and Rose Lavelle, Alex Morgan, Christen Press and Megan Rapinoe all buried their attempts. #TeamUSA #Soccer #Tokyo2020 The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.
