The performance of the Swedish women’s national team in recent years has strengthened. After winning 3rd place in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Peter Gerhardsson’s team are unbeaten at the Tokyo Olympics. Stina Blackstenius and her team amassed a total of 5 wins and scored 13 goals.
Sweden’s back line is also pretty solid. So far, Hedvig Lindahl’s goal has conceded only 3 goals. Therefore, if they are able to maintain their impressive performances, Sweden deserve to be seeded to win the final match later.

“Now we’re just going to enjoy it. It’s a fight for a medal, it will be a gold medal.”
On the other hand, the course for Canada which started from Group A was quite steep. Beverly Priestman’s side only won 1 and 2 draws in the group stage. These results helped Canada advance to the quarter-finals finalist Group A.
Canada often draws with its opponents. After winning 2 draws in the group stage, Ashley Lawrence and her colleagues also drew 0-0 against Brazil in the quarter-finals. Canada’s new victory was determined on a penalty shootout which ended in a 4-3 score.
When playing in the semi-finals, Canada once again encountered a tough opponent as well as its neighbor, the United States. The duel was the 62nd meeting with the United States, with 51 victories for the United States.
Even if you lose face-to-face, Canada which was designed by Beverly Priestman managed to prove itself with a 1-0 victory.
This record is also a record for Canada to qualify for the Olympic women’s soccer final for the first time in history.
“It’s a very big win. We gave everything and every game I play for this national team is an honor for me.” brilliant Ashley Lawrence who just crossed 100 caps with Canada.
