Trinity Rodman returned to the U.S. women’s national team on Saturday for the first time since last summer’s Olympic final and immediately returned to her goal scoring ways.
The forward scored the opening goal in the fifth minute as the U.S. defeated Brazil 2-0 in their gold medal rematch. Angel City forward and Los Angeles native Alyssa Thompson provided the assist for Rodman, deking past her defender and slotting the ball to Rodman as she darted in from the right wing. Rodman finished it off in front of 32,303 fans at SoFi Stadium. It was the venue’s first women’s sports event since it opened in 2020.
“It felt amazing, especially in this stadium. It was unreal,” Rodman told the TNT broadcast after the match. “I wanted to be a portable change on the field. I wanted to be a provider of energy and to be able to charge everyone’s batteries. I think I did that pretty well today.”
