The U.S. men's national soccer team had an Olympics opening match they would have liked to forget. The Americans fell 3-0 to France on Wednesday.
The U.S. men’s national soccer team had a Paris Olympics opener they’d likely want to forget.
France welcomed Team USA to the Velodrome stadium in Marseille on Wednesday night and routed them 3-0 behind goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Michael Olise and Loic Bade.
The Americans held the French scoreless through the first 60 minutes of the match. Then, in the 61st minute, Lacazette broke the scoreless tie with a long-range score through goalkeeper Patrick Schulte. It was enough to give France some momentum in the match.
Olise curled one past Schulte in the 69th minute and then Bade put the finishing touches on the match in the 85th minute.
American Griffin Yow, who subbed on in the 76th minute for Patrick Aaronson, thought he had a goal late in the match. But officials ruled him offside. Djordie Mihailovic also thought he had a goal for the Americans early in the match, but it hit off the crossbar.
France goes up early in Group A with the 3-0 victory. They are ahead of New Zealand, who beat Guinea 2-1, earlier in the day.
Olympic men’s soccer became an under-23 competition at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, which means players like Kylian Mbappe and Christian Pulisic will not be participating.
The U.S. team plays New Zealand on Saturday. France will play Guinea.
