U.S. women's soccer team beats Australia 4-3 to capture bronze in Tokyo

The United States women's national soccer team claimed bronze after beating Australia 4-3 in the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday.  After their defeat to North American rival Canada earlier this week, the USWNT came out gunning in the first half with three goals and later adding a fourth in the second half.

Despite Australia making the game close, Team USA's late defensive effort sealed the game – and third place for the Americans. The reigning World Cup champions were led by Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd, who had two goals each. With her second goal, Lloyd became the Olympics' all-time leading female scorer.
