New Delhi: The 2024 Olympics Women’s football is in the semi-final stage of the tournament on Tuesday, August 6th, with all four teams looking as strong contenders for the three medals. Every contest in the tournament has been thrilling, from the group stage to the quarter-finals.
Teams that are featuring in the semi-finals
The United States will arrive in the competition, having won all four games in the tournament. They have been a strong side in Group B, scoring eight times and conceding only twice in the entire tournament. In the quarterfinals, they won 1-0 in extra time against Japan.
Their opponent in the semi-finals, Germany, only lost one game in the group stage, coincidentally against the USA. Germany won their first game quite convincingly against Australia. In the quarter-finals against Canada, neither team was able to break the deadlock, which ended in a penalty shootout, which Germany won 4-2.
In Group C, Spain, too have won each of their games in the tournament, starting with a 2-1 win over Japan. They drew their quarter-final game against Colombia 2-2. The game was one of the best recoveries made in the tournament. Until the 79th minute, Spain were trailing in the game 2-0. A brilliant opening goal from Jennifer Hermoso and an equalising in the extra time ensured that the match went into a penalty shoot which Spain won 4-2.
Spain will face their Group C rival, Brazil. Brazil reached the knockout stage as the best third-placed team with just one win in the group stage. In the quarter-finals against France, they were in no mood to let go of the chance to feature in the semi-finals. They scored in the 82nd minute and pressed France throughout the game.
USA will face Germany in the first semi-final, with the US winning their group-stage draw against Die Mannschaft 4-1. The second game of the evening will be between Brazil and Spain, with La Roja having won 2-0 against Brazil in the group stage.
