- Sweden 1-1 Canada (Canada win 3-2 on penalties)
- Christine Sinclair wins first major tournament at 39
Christine Sinclair won her first major tournament gold at 38 as the University of Texas’s Julia Grosso scored the decisive penalty for Canada in a sudden-death shootout with the back-to-back silver medallists Sweden.
A Jessie Fleming penalty cancelled out Stina Blackstenius’s first-half strike to force the game beyond 90 minutes. The veteran goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl and her counterpart Stephanie Labbé were the heroes with each team scoring only two of their first five penalties before the latter stopped the Chelsea defender Jonna Andersson’s tame effort and Grosso slotted in.
