BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Patrons of the Bakersfield Beer Company had something to cheer about as they got to watch the United States women’s soccer team clinch the gold medal against Brazil on Saturday.
A decent crowd showed up to watch the United States women seize gold, as fans donned their U.S. soccer gear and cheered for their country. Mallory Swanson made the eventual game-winning goal and, as the seconds ticked away, they finally heard the whistle.

Emmie Valencia, a club soccer player who attends Highland High was present with her team to witness the event.
“I was so happy, so shocked. I was like, ‘let’s go’,” said Valencia. “It’s very inspiring. The women’s soccer community doesn’t get a lot of support so it was just very inspiring and upbringing to see them win and bring home the gold medal.”
