The USA eased into the semifinals, based on a five-goal, third-quarter spurt and a team in which eight different players scored. The power of the USA at the centre-forward position was evident with POWERS, KRUMPHOLZ and HUTTEN scoring excellent goals from two metres. AZEVEDO missed a penalty attempt midway through the second quarter, which could have made it 2-2 but the USA levelled at two and three before heading clear of Germany en route to the semifinals.
