Women's Olympic soccer medal matches: Complete schedule for bronze- and gold-medal games image

Canada's women's national soccer team will be playing for an Olympic gold medal for the first time in the program's history after defeating the USA 1-0 in the semifinal stage. The Canadians will face Sweden, arguably the most consistently impressive team at the tournament, and winners over Australia by the same scoreline in the other semi.

The final was moved by 10 hours to avoid the oppressive midday heat. The gold-medal match will now be played at 8 a.m. ET (9 p.m. local time) on Friday. If it ends in a tie after the 90 minutes of regulation, 30 minutes of extra time will be played (two 15-minute periods). If the deadlock persists, the gold medal winner will be decided in a penalty-kick shootout.

The United States, which had played in all but one gold medal match in Olympic history before this tournament, won its first Olympic bronze medal, beating Australia 4-3 on two goals each from USWNT legends Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd.
