US women’s soccer team suffers penalty heartache against Sweden
None
Sweden knocked the United States out of the women's Olympic soccer tournament on Friday, recording one of the sport's biggest shocks by beating the holders 4-3 on penalties in the quarter-final after the two sides drew 1-1 after extra time.
Lisa Dahlkvist converted Sweden's final penalty after Alex Morgan and Christen Press missed for the holders in the shootout. Linda Sembrant also missed for Sweden.
The United States, who dominated large parts of the match, have won four of the last five Olympic golds and had never not reached the Games final.
