Alex Morgan scored the overtime, extra-time winner. Another 30 seconds and it would have been a shootout! The goal was on a header. Canada's Christine Margaret Sinclair had previously scored 2 headers as part of her 3 goal hat trick. It's the furthest Canada has made it in Olympic Soccer. The Canadians had the lead 3 times but the USA team hung in there until the referee could help them get a penalty kick. After awarding an indirect kick for a mystical 'delay' call on the Canadian goalkeeper, the referee then called a hand ball on a weird bounce. USA capitalized on the penalty kick awarded and ultimately made it to extra time. Here's a video with the full match highlights: Canada will now face France for the Bronze while team USA plays Japan for the Gold. I know that my gf loves the pink soccer ball and all the headbands!
