Despite losing 6 points by flying a drone over the opponent, Canada reached the quarter-finals of Olympic women’s football. Likewise, the Brazilian women’s football team, which has not won gold in the Olympics, has reached the last eight after losing two out of three matches in the group stage. Meanwhile, in the high-voltage quarter-finals of men’s football, the youth of the world champion country Argentina are facing the host France tonight. The match will start at 1 pm.
Canada beat Colombia 1-0 in their last group game on Wednesday night to book their ticket to the last eight. Jessie Fleming’s free kick was headed in by defender Vanessa Gilles to secure Canada’s win. Gilles scored a last-minute goal to give Canada a dramatic victory in a 2-1 win over France earlier. As a result, the reigning Olympic champions in Group ‘A’ won three out of three matches.

But due to deduction of points, they accumulated only three points in the first round. Canada advanced to the quarter-finals as the second team in the group ahead of group champions France and Colombia on goal difference. Canada’s women will take on 2016 Rio Games champions Germany in the last eight in Marseille on Saturday.

The football-mad nation started the day with bad news when their appeal to the Court of Arbitration was rejected just an hour before the match. In addition to deducting six points from Canada for spying on New Zealand’s training session before the opening match, FIFA also fined them 200,000 Swiss francs. Assistant coach Antti Spence took over as interim coach after coach Bev Priestman was suspended for a year.

On the other hand, after a 2-1 loss to Canada in the previous match, France advanced to the next round as the top team of the group after defeating New Zealand by the same margin in the last match. Star striker Marie-Antonio Katotor scored twice for France.
Brazil advanced to the quarter-finals as the third-best team in the group despite losing 2-0 to World Cup winners Spain. Their opponents in the last eight are the girls of France.

Brazilian legend Marta, 38, was sent off after a dangerous tackle on Spanish captain Olga Carmona in first-half stoppage time in Bordeaux. This may be the last match for Marta, who will participate in the sixth Olympics of her career. If Brazil can clear the quarter-final barrier, Marta could be in luck for one more match. And if she loses in the last eight, Marta’s Olympic career will be over.
Meanwhile, the final match of the Qatar World Cup between Argentina and the Olympic football team of France will face off tonight. Either of the two teams will be eliminated in this men’s match. France aims to regain Olympic gold on home soil. Goodbye if you lose. And after winning the World Cup and Copa America, Argentina has a chance to fly the flag at the Olympics. If they win this match, the winners will take a big step towards winning the gold.

Basically, because Argentina could not be their group champion, their meeting with France is happening earlier. As a result, one team has to leave before the semi-finals. Lionel Messi’s Argentina defeated Kylian Mbappe’s France in the final of the last World Cup. These two superstars are not in the Olympics. Still talking about Argentina-France match. Football fans are watching the fight between these two superpowers.
