- The United States beat Zambia 3-0 on the first day of women’s football action at the Paris Olympics 2024.
- Team USA scored all their goals in the first half of the match at La Beaujoire Stadium in Nantes, France, before Zambia had Pauline Zulu shown a straight red in the opening 45 minutes.
- Unlike the men’s event – which is largely an under-23 competition and allows only three overage players per squad – the women’s tournament has no age restrictions.
- The men’s event started on Wednesday.
- Spain beat Japan 2-1 in our first live game of the day.
