Japan’s women’s soccer team, ranked No. 7 in the world, was defeated 1-0 by fifth-ranked U.S. in the quarterfinals on Saturday, failing to advance to the semifinals at the Paris Olympics.
The Japan team, dubbed Nadeshiko Japan, fought through the 90 minutes with the score at 0-0, but conceded a goal in extra time. Nadeshiko has failed to advance beyond the quarterfinal stage at both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics as well as last year’s World Cup.
