US’ forward #05 Trinity Rodman celebrates scoring the opening goal in the women’s group A football match between the USA and Zambia during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Nice Stadium in Nice, on July 25, 2024. AFPReigning Ballon d’Or Aitana Bonmati scored one goal and helped create another as World Cup holder Spain beat Japan, 2-1, in their first game of the women’s Olympic football tournament on Thursday, while record four-time gold medalist the United States beat Zambia 3-0.
They fell behind against Japan in Group C in the western French city of Nantes to Aoba Fujino’s superb early free-kick, but Bonmati soon equalized as she rounded the goalkeeper to score midway through the first half. With 12 teams split into three groups of four, there is a margin for error as the two best third-placed sides will advance to the quarter-finals.A strong Spain starting XI featured seven players who were in the line-up for last year’s World Cup final win over England in Sydney, plus Alexia Putellas, the two-time former Ballon d’Or winner.
Trinity Rodman and Mallory Swanson both hit the woodwork before Rodman—daughter of former NBA superstar Dennis Rodman—scored on 17 minutes with a lovely turn and finish in the box.
