USWNT out of Olympics after Canada defeat

The United States women's national team were knocked out of the Olympic Games after losing 1-0 to Canada in the semifinals on Monday.

Jessie Fleming's second half penalty was enough to see Canada dump the reigning world champions out of the gold medal match.

The USWNT will now play in the bronze medal match on Thursday.

The USWNT suffered a major setback in a cagey first-half when goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher was forced off with a knee injury after 30 minutes.
