Canada won on a penalty kick goal, putting Canada through into the gold medal match at the Tokyo Olympics set for August 5.Most of the time you don’t get your revenge. Things don’t even out in the end.Very, very rarely in life you will get the full turnaround.
No one on the pitch or in the stands reacted. The ref called for a goal kick. But then there was a pause. The Ukrainian referee signaled that the VAR would take a look at the incident. Again, no one reacted. This seemed like a brief water break at best.The Americans didn’t complain because none of them had seen what happened. Jessie Fleming stepped up – a passing of the torch moment – and sank the penalty. 1-0 Canada. It would end that way.
Jessie Fleming of Canada scores their first goal from the penalty spot against Adrianna Franch of the United States.Nine years later, the U.S. seemed more exhausted than anything. The most animated player was veteran star Carli Lloyd.She came into the mixed zone angry. When the volunteers tried to enforce the six feet of distance between herself and reporters, Lloyd ignored them. When they surrounded her and seemed about to lay hands on her, she moved back a foot. That was as far as she’d go.
“It was totally silent,” former Canada defender Carmelina Moscato remembered years later. “ said, ‘This is never going to happen again’ and ‘We’re going to get them’ and ‘We’re going to get them next time’.”At 38, Sinclair is not the player she once was.
