Trinity Rodman leaped into her teammate Emily Fox’s arms with utter relief strewn across her face. After over 105 minutes of sluggish and torpid play Saturday afternoon in Paris, Rodman’s masterpiece of a finish lifted the U.S. women’s national soccer team to a 1–0 win over Japan. Gathering a long ball over the top from outside back Crystal Dunn, Rodman charged into the box before cutting back to her left foot, curling a stunning shot past the Japan goalkeeper to secure a quarterfinal win for the U.S.
TRINITY RODMAN TAKE A BOW. 👏
