But twelve minutes into the resumption, it was the Stars and Stripes who were ahead.
While offside, Sophia Smith moved aside to give Swanson the opportunity to set up a trap, seize Korbin Albert's through pass, and easily slip past Lorena, the goalkeeper for Brazil.
With less than 30 minutes left, Brazil's legendary Marta was unveiled. Due to suspension, Marta missed the quarterfinals and semifinals.

Brazil didn't have a chance to tie the score until the fourth minute of stoppage time, when Adriana's header was stopped by Naeher to give the United States the gold medal.
Nobody can dispute that Team USA deserves to win their sixth Olympic gold medal after winning six of their last six games.
