Neid goes out with gold as Germany defeats Sweden 2-1 (Yahoo Sports)
With her arms raised in victory, coach Silvia Neid ran onto the field to join the celebration of Germany’s first Olympic gold medal – even jumping onto the players’ dogpile. Dzsenifer Marozsan scored early in the second half Friday and Germany went on to give Neid a 2-1 victory over Sweden for the nation’s first Olympic title in women’s soccer. The win at the iconic Maracana Stadium gave her one more championship to cap her 11-year career as Germany’s coach.
