LYON, France — Ann-Katrin Berger saved a last-minute penalty and Germany won the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics with a 1-0 victory on Friday over Women's World Cup winner Spain. Berger stopped Alexia Putellas' penalty attempt in the ninth minute of stoppage time. Giulia Gwinn converted a second-half penalty for Germany that proved to be the game-winner. As the match ended, two-time Ballon d'Or winner Putellas was in tears. It was Germany's fourth bronze medal at the Olympics. The Germans won the gold in 2016.
