The U.S. came back from two goals down to defeat France 4-2 in its opening Group G match in the Olympic women’s soccer tournament. Gaetane Thiney and Marie-Laure Delie scored within two minutes of each other to put France ahead in the first 15 minutes at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The U.S. drew even by halftime on goals from Abby Wambach and Morgan.
Carli Lloyd put the Americans ahead in the 56th minute, and a second goal from Morgan on the 66th minute later sealed the match for the Americans.
Wambach said after the match:
“Somehow we always like to make things a little dramatic,”
“The truth is, we really believe in ourselves. There’s nothing that’s going to stop us. Two goals, people getting injured, there’s one thing that we have on our mind and it’s gold.”
The men's event begins tommorrow.
