Mallory Swanson scored the U.S.’s only goal as the women’s soccer team won its first Olympic gold medal in 12 years.
Mallory Swanson is coming back to Chicago with an Olympic gold medal as she scored the game-winning goal for the U.S. women’s national team against Brazil on Saturday in France.Earlier this week Dansby Swanson told reporters that Mallory’s play at the Olympics had made him “cry.”
The goal she scored in the gold medal game was her fourth of the tournament and it broke a 0-0 tie with Brazil. The U.S. defense made sure it was the only goal it needed to claim its first gold medal in 12 years. The team last won gold in 2012 in London and has the most medals in the sport . But the U.S. missed the medal round in 2016 in Rio and won bronze in Tokyo in 2020.
When she comes back to Chicago she’ll resume her career with the Chicago Red Stars in the NWSL. She is the league’s highest-paid player after she signed a four-year deal worth $400,000 per year, with a fifth-year option that could help her make $2 million. Recently, she and the Red Stars played the first NWSL game ever at Wrigley Field.
