Báo Thanh niên•04/08/2024
Up to now, the 4 names that will participate in the semi-finals of women's football at the 2024 Paris Olympics have been officially revealed.
The quarter-finals of the women's soccer event at the Paris 2024 Olympics will take place from the evening of August 3 to the early morning of August 4, Vietnam time. The first match (at 8:00 p.m. on August 3) of the round for the 8 strongest teams will be an extremely evenly matched match between the Japanese Olympic women's team and the American Olympic women's team. These two teams opened the exciting knockout round with a dramatic match. The Japanese Olympic women's team and the American Olympic women's team were tied after more than 90 minutes of official play. It was not until the injury time of the first extra time (105+2) that Rodman Trinity scored the opening goal. This was also the only goal of the match, helping the American Olympic women's team win 1-0 against the Asian representative, thereby becoming the first team to enter the semi-finals.

The second quarter-final match took place at 10pm on August 3rd, which was equally thrilling, witnessing the spectacular "revival" of the Spanish women's Olympic team. The Colombian women's Olympic team played brilliantly to lead 2-0 after 52 minutes of play. However, the Spanish women's team showed great spirit to score late goals (in the 79th and 90+7 minutes), leveling the score at 2-2 and taking the match into extra time. There were no more goals scored in the 30 minutes of extra time and the two teams had to go into a nerve-wracking penalty shootout. On the 11m mark, the Spanish women's Olympic team won 4-2. Similarly, the match between the Canadian women's Olympic team and the German women's Olympic team also ended in a draw (0-0) after more than 120 minutes of play. On the "shootout", the German girls showed that they were more courageous and won 4-2. The Canadian women's Olympic team has officially stopped, unable to "continue the fairy tale". Previously, they were deducted 6 points but still passed the group stage as the second team.

The result of the final quarter-final (taking place at 2:00 a.m. on August 4) was perhaps the most surprising. The Brazilian women's Olympic team advanced from the group stage thanks to a wild card (for the third-placed team with the best record), but made history in the knockout round. Against the host women's Olympic team France (who advanced as Group A winners), the samba team even lacked their mainstay Marta (red card in the previous match) but played resiliently and won 1-0. The semi-finals of the women's football event at the Paris 2024 Olympics witnessed two fateful rematches, when the Spanish women's team met the Brazilian women's team, and the American women's team faced the German women's team. In Group B, the American women's Olympic team won 4-1 against the German women's team. Meanwhile, in Group C, the Spanish women's Olympic team defeated the Brazilian women's team 2-0. The two semi-final matches of the women's football event at the Paris 2024 Olympics will take place at 11pm on August 6 (Germany - USA), and 2am on August 7 (Spain - Brazil).
