Tokyo 2020 | Canada to the football final at the expense of the United States

The United States and Canada did not make this a fantastic semifinal. The United States suffered its first setback in the twentieth minute. Keeper Alyssa Naher landed incorrectly on her right foot after the cross, which had to be replaced ten minutes later.

Canada came under considerable pressure after the break and the Americans had good chances through Lloyd and Erds, but goalkeeper Stephanie Lappe had a strong game again.

Penalty

Despite the pressure, things still went wrong for the United States. Defender Tierna Davidson wanted to clear the ball from her own sixteen, but she did not see substitute Rose coming in and kicked the Canadian across the leg.

Referee Katrina Monsool initially did not whistle this time, but kept the ball in place after VAR’s intervention. Midfielder Jesse Fleming was cool from eleven meters and substitute Adrian France fired the last ball firmly.
