Beating Brazil in the women’s soccer finals by one goal in overtime, the U.S. took home the gold in women’s soccer for only the third time in the team’s history.

Among the team’s players is 25-year-old Natasha Kai, an aggressive forward who scored an overtime goal against Canada in the quarter-finals that earned the U.S. a spot in the finals.
