They survived and
advanced. Despite sketchy defense, the American women did enough to beat
Colombia — a team they were expected to walk over — 2-0 in the Round of
16, moving on to face China in the quarterfinals. Alex Morgan scored
shortly after she was tripped by Colombia’s goalie, whose resulting
ejection left the South Americans a player short for the second half.
But it took 52 minutes to get that all-important first goal — a late
start Team USA can ill afford to repeat.
