Canada comes from behind to win gold in Olympic Soccer

Canada wins the Olympic Gold in Women's Soccer following a penalty shot win over Sweden.

Canada fell behind to a first half goal but responded strongly in the 2nd half to tie up the game in the 66th minute from a Jessie Fleming penalty after Christine Sinclair had been fouled.

There was no further goals in the match and so penalty kicks were used to decide the gold winner. Canada won 3-2 on kicks after 6 penalties each.
