It was heartbreak for the USA as they went down 1-0 to the Canadians in the 75th minute and were not able to battle back. Canada’s Jessie Fleming converted on a penalty shot for the match's only goal. It marks the first time that the USWNT has lost two matches in a single Olympics.

On the other side, the Swedish continued their dominance in the Olympics taking down Australia by a score of 1-0. Fridolina Rolfo banged one home in the 47th minute to give her squad the lead and they never looked back. Sweden remains perfect with a 5-0-0 (W-D-L) record in these Olympic Games.

The USA will still have a shot to make it onto the podium as they will take on Australia in the Bronze Medal match on Thursday, August 5 at 4:00 a.m. EST. The Americans are -135 moneyline favorites in that one with an over/under set at 2.5 for total goals, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
