Sweden Women will face Canada Women in the Olympics final game of the women’s football tournament. The game will kick-off at 1 PM CET at Nissan Stadium in Japan and it will decide the winner of the gold medal. In reality, both teams deserve to win the tournament given the excellent performances made throughout the group stage and knockout round matches.
Canada had to face Great Britain, Japan and Chile in order to advance to the second round and they did so by losing any of the three games. Then, they continued their journey by beating the strong Brazilian team in the quarter-finals before excluding the world champions, the USWNT, with one goal in a historic match for the Canadians. Actually, they will be doing their best to win the gold despite facing a very organised and disciplined team.
Bev Priestman will rely on many experienced players like Christine Sinclair, Jessie Fleming, Janine Beckie and numerous other excellent players to resist Sweden’s attacking threat and counter it with effectiveness.
On the other hand, Sweden have the opportunity of winning such a prestigious competition that would allow the team to dream bigger and aim at lifting the World Cup and Euro 2022 trophies in the near future. The team has performed in an excellent way throughout the tournament as they started by triumphing over the USWNT with a 3-0 score, which boosted the players and helped them in having the confidence of doing even better. That’s what happened later since they won 4-2 against Australia and 0-2 against New Zealand.
In the knockout stage, Sweden had to meet the hosts, Japan, and won against them 3-1 in the quarter-final. Then, on August 2, they were able to exclude Australia and advance to the final.
Many Swedish players shined during this tournament such as Magdalena Eriksson,Amanda Ilestedt, Caroline Seger, Kosovare Asllani, Fridolina Rolfö, Hanna Glas, Stina Blackstenius and Sofia Jakobsson. Peter Gerhardsson will surely need to rely on them for this final match as these were the key players in the previous games too.
