Germany Wins Women's Soccer Bronze at Olympics

Germany secured the bronze medal in women's soccer at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a dramatic 1-0 win over reigning World Cup champions Spain. The decisive goal came from a penalty by Giulia Gwinn in the 65th minute after being fouled by Spanish goalkeeper Cata Coll. In a tense finale, German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger saved a last-minute penalty taken by Spain's Alexia Putellas. This victory marks Germany's fifth Olympic medal in women's soccer, including four bronzes and one gold. Spain, ranked No. 1 in the world, was making its Olympic debut and dominated possession but failed to score. Berger's heroics throughout the tournament, including previous crucial penalty saves, were pivotal in Germany's success.
