    The United States Women Soccer Team (USWS) won the bronze medal in women’s soccer at the Tokyo Olympics with a 4-3 victory over ninth-ranked Australia on Thursday.

    Thursday’s victory marks the U.S. team’s first bronze in Olympic history, handing the team a medal after it failed to earn one during the Rio Games in 2016.

    Megan Rapinoe scored a spectacular Olimpico goal in the eighth minute to open the scoring for the US. Rapinoe scored her second goal before halftime.

    39-year-old Carli Lloyd scored a brace of her own to give the U.S a three-goal lead. With her two goals, it was a record-breaking evening for Lloyd, who became the USWNT’s top scorer in Olympics history with 10 goals and its second-most-capped player of all time, after Kristine Lilly, with 312 appearances.

    Sam Kerr, Caitlin Foord, and Emily Gielnik scored 1 each, 3 goals for Australia.

    The U.S. team lost to Sweden 3-0 in the team’s Olympic debut and then overwhelmed New Zealand 6-1.

    The team USA faced Australia during the group stage of the Tokyo Olympics, where they tied 0-0 making them qualified in the quarterfinals.

    The U.S. team then beat the Netherlands in a penalty kick shootout before losing to Canada 1-0 on Monday.

    Goals:
    USA – Megan Rapinoe – 8th min.
    AUS – Sam Kerr (Caitlin Foord) – 17th min.
    USA – Megan Rapinoe – 21st min.
    USA – Carli Lloyd (Lindsey Horan) – 46th min. (1st HF)
    USA – Carli Lloyd – 51st min.
    AUS – Caitlin Foord (Kyah Simon) – 54th min.
