Germany also debuted with a 3-0 win against Australia, making this upcoming match crucial for both teams in securing a spot in the next round of the tournament.
The USWNT aims to improve on their bronze medal performance from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where they were defeated by Canada in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, Germany returns to the Olympic stage after missing out on the last edition. Both teams have a storied history in women’s soccer, each having won both a FIFA World Cup and an Olympic gold medal, a feat only shared with Norway.
This match marks the 36th encounter between the USWNT and Germany but is only the second time they have faced each other in the Olympics.
The last Olympic meeting was in the semifinals of the 2004 Athens Games, where the USWNT secured a 2-1 victory in extra time, with Heather O’Reilly scoring the decisive goal in the 99th minute.
