Megan Rapinoe converted the deciding penalty in a shootout and the United States advanced to the semifinals of the women’s Olympic soccer tournament 4-2 following a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands on Friday.
United States goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher stopped Vivianne Meidema’s opening attempt in the shootout. She then saved a shot from Aniek Nouwen before Rapinoe put her penalty away.
The team tweeted a video of Rapinoe converting the winning goal, saying: “WE’RE NOT GOING HOME YET.”
After Rapinoe scored, she turned to her teammates, folded her arms and grinned in triumph.
