This is the fourth time in as many editions of the summer Olympics that the USWNT and Canada have accounted for both CONCACAF qualifying places after this format was introduced in 2008. Each team has advanced to the final after winning all four games so far in the tournament and without conceding a goal.
The Stars and Stripes coach Vlatko Andonovski saw his side snatch its spot in the final after dominating Mexico 4-0 in Friday’s semifinal. Sam Mewis impressed with a goal either side of half-time.
Jordyn Huitema notched her seventh goal of the tournament when Canada beat Costa Rica 1-0 earlier in the evening, increasing her advantage as the top scorer in CONCACAF Olympic qualifying.
Canada may be considered underdogs for this matchup, though it’s worth noting the less heralded North American outfit scored 22 unanswered goals during its Group B campaign. The United States bagged 18 without reply in its three Group A games, including a 6-0 wallop of Costa Rica.
The USWNT has never lost to Canada in 23 meetings overall, with national pride and honor being the main commodities on the line when these nemeses meet in Sunday’s final.
