Canada vs Sweden Preview
Canada is fresh from toppling heavy favorites the United States, 1-0, in a stunning upset. A penalty kick off the foot of Jessie Fleming made all the difference, and the Canadians now have an opportunity to shock the world again.
“I’m still in shock,” said Canada defender Kadeisha Buchanan said after her country’s most recent victory. “This is my first win, ever, against the USA after playing them how many times? And what a perfect time to win against them.”
They’ll be going up against a Sweden team that has been dominant throughout the Games. The 2016 Olympic silver medal winners now have a chance for gold, and with a 5-0-0 record so far, it’s Sweden’s best chance yet.
Sweden is coming off a 1-0 win over a tough Australia squad, with Fridolina Rolfo scoring the game-winning goal. Keeper Hedvig Lindahl has been a huge part of her team’s success over the years, and the 38-year-old wants to hang a gold medal around her neck before she hangs up her cleats
“I’ve been doing this for nearly 20 years,” Lindahl said. “We have the opportunity to win something. It means a lot. It could mean that I have the opportunity to finally quit this year to feel like I leave this team in a good place.”
The Swedes scored nine points in the group stage, where they went undefeated before handily beating Japan in the quarterfinals.
Both teams made headlines heading into the match when they requested it be moved to later in the evening due to intense daytime heat.
“I myself have been in contact with FIFA today and written to them, so that’s about where the situation is today,” Marika Domanski Lyfors, the head of Sweden’s squad, said. “It is primarily about the players’ health we’re thinking about and trying to change the time of the game. There’s a pretty big difference between playing in the afternoon or evening, and we are very much exposed to the warmth and heat.”
In the last meeting between these two teams, Sweden defeated Canada, 1-0, in June 2019.
