  • The 2012 Olympic women's soccer semifinal between Canada and the United States was played at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on August 6, 2012. In a match that went into extra time, the U.S. won 4–3 to advance to the final against Japan. In the 22nd minute, Christine Sinclair opened the scoring for Canada, who remained up 1–0 into halftime. Nine minutes into the second half, Megan Rapinoe equalized for the U.S., scoring directly from a corner kick. Sinclair secured a hat-trick by adding goals in the 67th and 73rd minute, sandwiching a second goal by Rapinoe in the 70th minute. A controversial call against Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod for holding the ball longer than six seconds led to a free kick which resulted in a penalty kick being awarded to the Americans; Abby Wambach converted it in the 80th minute to tie the score at 3–3, and the game went into extra time. On the verge of a potential penalty shootout, Alex Morgan headed in the winning goal for the U.S. during the third minute of added time after the 30 additional minutes. The game was called "the greatest knockout match in major-tournament football" since 1982 by Scott Murray of The Guardian. Both teams wound up winning medals in the Olympics: the U.S. won their third straight gold medal, while Canada won the bronze medal. (en)
