The win puts the USA in the Gold Cup final against Canada – Dogplot Suriname

The win puts the USA in the Gold Cup final against Canada – Dogplot Suriname

The United States Women's National Team records a 3-1 penalty shootout victory over Canada during the CONCACAF W Gold Cup semifinal match on March 6, 2024 in San Diego, California. The match, played in difficult conditions on a water-logged ground, was too chaotic and contested to play normal football.

American goalkeeper Alyssa Neiher played a key role in the victory, stopping three penalties and successfully saving a penalty. Despite a late goal from Canada tying the score and forcing a penalty shootout, the U.S. successfully regrouped for a domestic final spot to meet Brazil. Brazil beat Mexico 3-0 in the other semi-final.

Debate over the playability of the pitch, which was heavily affected by rain, preceded the match, but eventually continued. The US team adapted to the difficult circumstances and set their sights on the goal: winning the first CONCACAF W Gold Cup.
