USA made it four gold medals out of a possible five at Women's Olympic Football Tournaments by virtue of their 2-1 victory over Japan in front of a Wembley crowd of 80,203 - an Olympic record in itself.
The hero of the hour was 30-year-old Carli Lloyd who struck in each half to help her side to victory, even though Japan made it a nervy end when Yuki Ogimi scored to pull one back in the 63rd minute.
