Aaaaaand we’re off. The US Women’s National Soccer team is already off to the races in the Olympics.
The World Cup champions kicked things off by scoring the first goal of the Tokyo Olympics against New Zealand. It was Rose Lavelle who made the strike to give USWNT a 1-0 lead in her very first Olympics just nine minutes into the game.
She got an absolute dime from Tobin Heath on the break and took care of the rest. She was wide open and stuck the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.
It was just an amazing sequence.
Rose to the occasion 💪🌹 pic.twitter.com/bHIo6r2C3O
