Pre-Match Information
The Brazilian women's national team spoiled the party of the Spanish women, defeating them in the semi-finals of the 2024 Women's Olympic Football Tournament. This loss left Aitana Bonmati and her teammates dejected, and they then lost to the German women in the bronze medal match.
For the Brazilian women, this victory is crucial as it allows them to reach the final of the Olympics for the third time. However, to change the color of the medal - two silver medals in 2004 and 2008, Canarinhas will have to overcome a major challenge in the form of the United States women's national team.
United States Women's National Team is truly a force in world football. In addition to four World Cup titles, they have also won four Olympic gold medals.
In the seven times women's football has been included in the Olympic program, only once has the United States women's national team failed to reach the quarterfinals, which was in 2016 at Rio. They have one silver medal and one bronze medal.
Before winning 4-2 against Spain in the semi-finals, no match had the Brazilian women scored more than one goal.
On the other hand, the United States women's national team played a brilliant game in the group stage - winning all three matches with a total of 9 goals, but when entering the knockout stage, both the quarterfinals (against Japan) and the semi-finals (against Germany) ended with a score of 1-0, with the winning goal scored in extra time.
The United States women's national team currently does not have a powerful striker like Alex Morgan, but their team has too much experience. Only one case has not played any matches for the national team, Emily Sams, who was called up to replace an injured player.
Statistics show that over the past 10 years, the Brazilian women have only won 1 out of 10 matches against the United States women's national team - 2 draws and 7 losses. Will the team's enthusiasm and reasonable tactics in the match against Spain help them win in the most important match?
