How do the USWNT and Brazil get to the W 2024 Gold Cup Final?

The rain in the Canada vs. United States match set the thermometer for the game. The United States scored first (Shaw 20′) despite the Canadians’ complaints about the poor conditions of the waterlogged pitch. The players continued the dispute with soaked socks until Canada’s equalizer (Huitema 82′).

The match had to go to extra time and there, the rainy night took more twists and turns. Canada’s Adriana Leon scored the tying penalty kick (2-2) in the last minute of extra time, making her the tournament’s top scorer with six goals, one more than Mexico’s Lizbeth La Maga Ovalle.

In the penalty shootout, the heroine of the night for the United States was goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, who not only saved three shots, but also came out on top by taking one of the three penalties that earned her team a place in the final.

More than 10 thousand people attended the Brazil vs. Mexico match to see the Verdeamarela win with three goals: Adriana (21′), Antonia (32′) and Yasmin’s jogo bonito (48′), who scored with a back-heel. Arthur Elías’s men had been a factor in the Mexican women’s soccer team’s hopes of reaching the semifinal of the Women’s Gold Cup 2024 since the 28th minute, when Nicky Hernández was sent off.

Brazil reached the final having won all of their 2024 Women’s Gold Cup matches and showed why they are the reigning champions of the 2022 Copa America, where they have been crowned eight times. Mexico, who were coming off a 22-game winning streak under Pedro Lopez, and had even made history by defeating the United States after 14 years, finished as one of the top four teams in the region. “Today we were not able to compete on equal footing,” commented Mexican national team coach Pedro Lopez at a press conference.
