MANAUS, Brazil — In the first few moments Hope Solo had to reflect following the United States team’s 2-2 draw with Colombia on Tuesday, she already had perspective on the two goals that Catalina Usme got past her.

‘‘I've been around the game long enough to know that it’s part of the position,’’ Solo said. ‘‘I don’t wish it on anybody. Being a goalkeeper is extremely difficult. But I’ve been around long enough to know that these things do happen, they've happened to me before.

‘‘You just hope that they happen few and far between.’’

The draw, while disappointing, did not have much impact on the defending Olympic champions. The United States still emerged at the top of Group G and will play Sweden in Brasilia on Friday in the quarterfinals.

Usme beat Solo with a pair of free kicks. The first, in the 26th minute, was Colombia’s first ever Olympic goal, and first ever goal against the United States.

The second came from a tight angle as time ran out.

‘‘I have also learned to have a short-term memory,’’ Solo said. ‘‘So I'm just going to put this behind me and move on, because there’s going to be some great football in the coming games and I'm going to have to come up big and keep our team in it.’’

At 18, Mallory Pugh became the youngest player to score for the United States in an Olympics with her goal in the 59th minute, giving the Americans a 2-1 lead. Olympic newcomer Crystal Dunn also scored.

The US women’s team, the reigning World Cup champions, is vying for its fourth straight Olympic gold medal.

‘‘It is what it is,’’ US captain Carli Lloyd said. ‘‘I'd rather two goals get let in like that in this game, than in a quarterfinal, a semifinal or a final match. Do we all know that we can play a lot better? Of course. But we met our objective and it’s important to stay positive and take what we can out of these games.’’

Pugh came into the game as a first-half substitute for midfielder Megan Rapinoe, who played in her first match since having ACL surgery in December.

In addition to Rapinoe, US coach Jill Ellis made several other changes to her starting lineup, sitting regular starters Alex Morgan, Tobin Heath and Meghan Klingenberg. Julie Johnston, who sat out the second game with groin injury, was also on the bench.

Morgan came in after the half for Lloyd. Pugh, who hurt her ankle in the 2-0 opening win against New Zealand, went in when Rapinoe was pulled in the 33rd minute as temperatures hovered in the upper 80s.

‘‘I felt really good,’’ Rapinoe said. ‘‘A little rusty in certain moments. I still have to get that game fitness back, but overall I felt really good.’’

The fans taunted Solo by chanting ‘‘Zika! Zika!’’ The jeers have accompanied the US goalkeeper throughout the Olympic tournament because of posts she made on social media about the virus that is spread by mosquitoes.

Usme’s goals were just the fifth and sixth that Solo has allowed this year. She has a record 102 shutouts in international play and had not allowed a goal in the first two matches.

‘‘The most important thing for me is not the goals or the making history,’’ Usme said. ‘‘The most important thing is the teamwork.’’
