Lloyd\'s golden double gives USA revenge over Japan

09 sierpnia, 2012

The United States clinched a 2-1 victory over Japan in the Olympic women\'s final on Thursday as Carli Lloyd\'s double gave her country a third successive gold medal and avenged last year\'s World Cup final defeat against the Asian giants.

Lloyd missed a penalty when the US lost that World Cup final in an agonising shoot-out, but she enjoyed sweet redemption at Wembley with a goal in each half and, although Japan\'s Yuki Ogimi got one back, the US held on to secure their fourth gold in women\'s football in the last five Olympics.
