USA win women's gold

AFP, Beijing
Defending champions United States produced an extra-time winner to claim Olympic gold after a I 0 win over
I Brazil in the women's football tournament here on Thursday.
The Americans replicated their extra-time triumph over the Brazilians in the Athens Olympics final four years ago to deny the South Americans yet again.
It was a courageous effort by the United States, who for long periods absorbed tremendous pressure from the Brazilians, spearheaded by their lethal strike pair of Marta and Cristiane to win it in the first period of extra time.
Midfielder Carli Lloyd proved America's hero with a rasping angled drive that eluded the despairing dive of Brazilian goalkeeper Barbara in the 96th minute
The two great rivals produced a classic encounter, full of fierce physical contests and high levels of skill thrilling the capacity crowd at the Workers Stadium.
The Americans are rebuilding after a fractious campaign at last year's World Cup in China where they were taken apart by Brazil 4-0 in the semifinals and finished with the bronze behind champions Germany.
In a breathless opening 45 minutes, US goalkeeper Hope Solo courageously saved at Cristianc's feet in the 31 st minute.
Two-lime world player of the year Marta thrilled the capacity crowd with her electrifying running, wriggling her way around two defenders but fired just wide three minutes later.
USA right-back Heather Mitts was yellow carded for bringing down midfielder Formiga in full flight and minutes later it was the dangerous Marta again, this time swinging in a high free kick which Solo did well to hold under pres-
Nearing halftime Mana again darted clear but her cross to
Cristiane was put behind for a corner by defender Lori Chalupny.
Cristiane had enough time before the end of the half to let fly with a raspi ng volley over the bar.
But the Americans did well to stay in the contest, watched by Brazilian legend Pelc sitting alongside FIFA boss Sepp Blatter.
Mana again accelerated around her marker and fired in a cross early in the second half but Solo defused it well in the goalmouth.
The American defence was under siege for much of the second half as they stuck steadfastly to their task
Marta again tested the US
defence unleashing a fierce volley that Solo somehow kept out with 18 minutes left.
The Americans had two great scoring chances to win it inside the final four minutes before the game went into extra-time.
Angela Huclcs brought out a diving save from Barbara and Amy Rodriguez was one-on-one and attempted to chip the goalkeeper, but Barbara leapt high to stop here.
Germany won their third consecutive Olympics bronze medal but made heavy weather of it against Japan with a hard-fought 2 0 victory in the bronze medal playoff.
