The semi-finals of the Olympic Games are now over. They have performed admirably in various competitions. After eliminating the home team, it is time to see what the frontrunners will do.
The semifinals were on Tuesday. The United States then played Germany and world champion Brazil faced Spain. The battle for the bronze medal is scheduled for Friday, while the final is scheduled for Saturday.
The first finalist came from the match between the United States and Germany. The time when the United States was the favorite in these types of competitions is long behind us. Although Germany was also an absolute superpower.
As in previous games, this time we didn't get the winning goal in 90 minutes. Both teams wanted to score, but they couldn't. So we went to extra time, which is always exciting.
Smith makes the difference
In the end, it was Sophia Smith who made the difference in the 95th minute with a wonderful goal to make it 1-0. Germany tried again, but were unable to score an equaliser and thus forced possible penalties.
Brazil awaits the United States in the final. A chance for America's new generation to win Olympic gold again. For Germany, there is still a chance to compete for the bronze medal against world champion Spain.
