TOKYO: Canada stunned the World Cup-winning United States on Monday, handing it a shock 1-0 defeat in the semifinal of the women's Olympic football tournament with Jessie Fleming grabbing the winner with a 75th minute penalty.
The crucial moment, in a game which had produced little incident, came when Tierna Davidson challenged Deanne Rose on the edge of the penalty area. After a video review, a spot-kick was awarded.
Canada's veteran striker Christian Sinclair initially had the ball in her hands, but Fleming took the responsibility and kept her cool to slot home. Agencies
