Soccer: Australian coach given yellow card after VAR argument

Australia's coach Tony Gustavsson has been given a yellow card after arguing with the match referee, insisting on a VAR review of the U.S. goal.

It's unclear exactly what was said between the two men that led to a yellow card, but ultimately the goal by Rodman was reviewed and allowed to stand after a chaotic five minutes on the field.

There has been 10 minutes added to the first half in stoppage time.

Soccer: American Sam Coffey out of next game after second yellow card

Samantha Coffey, the U.S. midfielder, incurred a yellow card in the first three minutes of the game against Australia.

Because this is Coffey's second yellow of the Olympic tournament, she will have to sit out Team USA's next game. It'll be a tough loss for the American squad to lose her for a knockout game.

Her yellow cards will be cleared after the quarterfinals, and she will be able to rejoin the team on the field if the U.S. advances into the semifinals.

Volleyball: U.S. women hold on in crucial win against Serbia

The U.S. women's volleyball team survived a valiant comeback from Serbia to win their second preliminary game and guarantee a spot in the knockout round.

After the U.S. won the first two sets, Serbia climbed back with two of their own. In a nail-biting final set, the U.S. came out strong but the Serbs were ruthless, the Americans reaching five match points before securing their win at 17-15.

"We just had to keep believing," USA's Haleigh Washington said in a postgame interview.

This was a must-win for the defending gold medalists after losing to China on Monday. They play their final pool match against France on Sunday.

Soccer: Germany scores against Zambia as it fights for quarterfinal spot

Germany's Lea Schueller scored the team's first goal against Zambia at the 10-minute mark, placing them slightly ahead of Australia already as the teams fight to advance to knockouts.

The Australian team has not made headway more than 25 minutes into the game against the Group B leader, Team USA. Australian foward Mary Fowler made a good attempt at the goal, but it went too wide to sink in the Americans' net.

Australia and Germany are neck and neck for the second guaranteed spot for the quarterfinals.

Two slots in the next round are open for third place teams, but those will be determined by the points in the standings across all three groups. Points are determined by goals scored and goal differentials across the three group-stage matches.

Soccer: 'Big Three' already putting pressure on Australian goalkeeper

Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman and Mallory Swanson have each already made attempted shots at goal in the first 10 minutes of the match against Australia, though none has scored.

Having owned the majority of the team's goals so far in the tournament, the three women have been dubbed Team USA's "Big Three." Coach Emma Hayes has not made many changes to today's lineup, opting to keep starting players who are putting out strong offensive pressure.

This is the first Olympics for Rodman, the daughter of former basketball star Dennis Rodman.
