Canada beat Sweden on penalties to win women's football gold at Tokyo 2020.

It marks the first Olympic gold in the competition for Canada who won successive bronze medals in London and Rio.

The game went to extra time after Canada's Jessie Fleming equalised from the penalty spot to cancel out Stina Blackstenius' opener.

Midfielder Julia Grosso scored the winning penalty in the shootout as Canada won 3-2.

USA beat Australia in a seven-goal thriller to claim the bronze medal.

Brazil takes on Spain in the men’s football gold medal match at 11.30 tonight.
