The U.S. women’s soccer team is back in the gold medal match for the first time since 2012 after going undefeated in the group stages and winning a pair of extra-time victories over both Japan and Germany in the knockout.
They will face off against Brazil on Saturday in a rematch of the 2008 and 2004 Summer Olympics where Brazil settled for a silver medal in both finals against the U.S.
Brazil has never won a gold medal, but is hoping to do so with star striker Marta in what will be her international send-off.
Action is slated to begin at 11 a.m. ET.
