MONTREAL (AP) -- Celia Sasic picked a pretty bad time for Germany's first missed penalty kick in the women's World Cup.
The Germany forward shanked the ball to the left - even as U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo dove the other way - on her penalty kick after a foul in the box in the 59th minute. The Americans went on to win 2-0 and advance to the final.
The top-ranked Germans had been 17 for 17 on World Cup penalty kicks, including all five in a tiebreaker to beat France in the quarterfinal.
Sasic is the leading scorer in the tournament, with six goals in Germany's first five games.
