Australia wants a gold medal, but Sweden also has the same dream. This semifinal game of the Women’s Soccer Tournament at the 2020 Olympic Games will take place at International Stadium Yokohama on August 2, 2021 at 7:00 AM (ET).

The Matildas (Australia Women’s Soccer Team nickname) had a tough job against England. That game was the best of the quarterfinals round. Seven total goals with overtime. The victory was for Australia thanks to the 4 goals by Kennedy (35′), Kerr (89′, 106′) and Fowler (103′).

Team Sweden had the audacity to eliminate the host team of the 2020 Olympic Games. Sweden pushed Japan out of the way with a 3-1 victory in the quartersfinals. It is worth mentioning that the women of Sweden were the most lethal in the group round with 9 points and 9 goals.

Team Australia has a bit more experience in international tournaments. Three times in the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup in 2007, 2011 and 2015. In addition, the Australian girls were champions of the Asian Cup (2010) and three times OFC Nations Cup (1994, 1998 and 2003).

Australia shared the group with Sweden in the group stage, but the Matildas’ performance was poor compared to the quarterfinals and past experience in other tournaments. Swedish women are playing at their best level.
