| Final thoughts | |
| Just like last year in Canada at the World Cup, Sweden’s goalkeeper, Lindahl was huge and delivered. But to be honest, this match should have been won in regular time when America had so many opportunities to put the game away. A lot of credit goes out Sweden and Sundhage who knew that with a little bit of luck, mixed with some strong defending, America could be defeated. Congratulations to Sweden. For the US, Rio is over. Thanks for tuning in! | |
| P.S A million apologies for any typos.... | |

| 100 min: What a chance for Morgan once again as she is 7 yards from goal. Good goalkeeping blocks shot and it’s a corner. Sweden defending for their lives right now as America keep on attacking. Christen Press, by the way, replaces Rapinoe. Not the best game for her who actually was brought on to replace O’Hara. | 100 min: What a chance for Morgan once again as she is 7 yards from goal.
