The US women’s soccer team continued their unbeaten record at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games with a 2-1 victory over Australia on Wednesday, qualifying them for the quarterfinals (per CNN.)

Trinity Rodman and Korbin Albert each found the net to lead the USWNT past Australia to closing out group-stage play at Marseille Stadium. Rodman opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time, and Albert’s goal from long range doubled the USWNT’s lead midway through the second half. The Americans, who previously clinched a spot in the knockout rounds, outshot their foes 20-6 in Wednesday’s match.

The USWNT has  been one of the most dominant soccer teams at the Olympics since making their debut back in 1996, with four gold medals in five Olympic Games (including a three-peat from 2004 to 2012).  Since 2012, however, the USWNT lost  in the quarterfinals to Sweden in 2016, and won the bronze  in Tokyo three years ago. It also lost in the round of 16 of last year’s World Cup after having won back-to-back titles in 2015 and 2019.

The US women’s national team will face Japan in the quarterfinals, taking place at 9 a.m. EDT Saturday.
