Olympia 2021: Canada surprises win against USA and enters women's football final

“Of course it sucks, you never want to lose. Especially not against Canada and not the way we played,” Rapinoe criticized after his 1-0 (0-0) win against his North American rivals.

The star ensemble, used to success, lacked bite, so all that is left is the game against Australia for the bronze consolation prize.

Down Under lost 0:1 (0:0) to Sweden in the second semi-final. Former Wolfsburg and Munich Fridolina Rolfo (46th) decided the game for the Scandinavians, in stoppage time Australia’s Ellie Carpenter saw the red due to the emergency brake (90th + 6th). As in 2016, Sweden is now in the final. At that time Germany was defeated, now it is believed that gold will be produced for the first time.

The four-time tournament winner thus missed out on the Olympic final for the second time in a row, while the third-place Olympic athlete in 2016 and 2012 is playing for gold for the first time.
