Great Britain Women |
The United States successfully defended its title in Women's Football
this evening with a 4-0 win over Germany to capture the Gold in the
event.
After 11 days of intensive competition, the American Women's team
managed to keep their composure for one last time, rolling past their
German counterparts to garner the victory.
The final game was blissful to watch;Neither team was able to break through against a tough defense that
played rather conservatively in the first minutes, even though the time
of possession would favor the Americans.It took a beautifully orchestrated goal by America's Liza Eleonora
Offreda around 50-minute into the game to give the eventual champs a
1-0 lead. Felicia Marie Schroeder's sudden strike out of a crowded battle for the
ball in front of the German goal would put the US ahead 2-0 seven
minutes later.Schroeder would connect again later in the second half for her second
goal of the contest after the US made it 3-0 on a goal by Katherine Ann
Ward to conclude all the scoring on the night.
"We really enjoyed competing against Germany." American captain Reagan
Anders said when she was asked about what she thought of the
competitive Finals after the game. (By Sheu Hann-Wen)
