A last-minute rule change because of the pandemic cleared the way for one-time alternate Lynn Williams to earn an Olympic start. Williams not only started for the U.S. women's soccer team in its tense quarterfinal with the Netherlands, she scored and added an assist. Canadian star Christine Sinclair scored three goals, but the United States won it in the 123rd minute on Alex Morgan's header. The Swedes, Australia and the United States were all in the same group during the preliminary stage. Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema scored 10, but her team was eliminated by the United States in the quarterfinals.
