Canada is looking to win a first gold medal after back-to-back bronze medals at the last two Olympics.
The Canadians are only the third team in the history of women's soccer at the Olympics to win a medal at three consecutive Games after the USWNT and Germany pulled off the feat between 1996 and 2012 and 2000 and 2008 respectively.
Sweden, the world No. 5, thrashed the Americans 3-0 in its opening game, before defeating Australia and New Zealand to top Group G and then breezed past host Japan 3-1 in the quarterfinals. The gold medal match was scheduled to start at 11 a.m. local time on Friday , but the two teams asked for the game to be postponed.
