Tokyo Olympics: women's football glory for Canada

Canada win women’s football final on penalties

We are into sudden death. Jonna Andersson has her penalty saved and now Canada have the chance to win it.

And they do. Julia Grosso scores to give Canada gold!

That was a strange shootout: 12 penalties and only five of them went in. Not that Canada will care.

Canada have won the gold medal 3-2 on penalties!
