US women's soccer vs Zambia

News summary

The U.S. women's national soccer team kicked off the 2024 Paris Olympics with a decisive 3-0 victory over Zambia, marking the first competitive game for new head coach Emma Hayes. The Americans dominated the match, with Mallory Swanson scoring two goals and Trinity Rodman adding another, all within the first 25 minutes. Despite the comfortable win, the lowly-ranked Zambia (64th in the world) posed limited challenges, and Hayes expressed frustration over missed opportunities to widen the scoreline. Looking ahead, the U.S. will face tougher opponents in the group stage, including Germany and Australia, which could test their resolve. This match served as a fresh start for a team eager to move past their disappointing exit in the last World Cup, signaling a new chapter in U.S. soccer history. Overall, the win sets a positive tone for the team's Olympic journey, but they must remain vigilant as the competition intensifies.
