Mallory Swanson’s coolly taken 57th minute chance wins gold for Emma Hayes’ United States of America against Brazil in the final of the women’s football event at the Paris Olympic Games.
With this triumph, English football coach Emma Hayes has cemented herself as one of the best ever in women’s football after achieving massive feats at Chelsea Football Club.
After the cagey and entertaining first half, the game shot into life when the Americans took the lead through Swanson, who struggled to put away a number of chances in the first 45 minutes.
The defeat for the Brazilians was the last outing for Marta, one of the greatest ever players to grace the football field for the South American nation.
