A late goal in extra time by Diana Matheson gave the Canadian women's soccer team the country's 10th bronze medal of the London Olympic Games on Thursday.
After the team's heroic but heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss to the United States in the Olympic semifinal two days earlier, Canada defeated France 1-0 to win the third-place medal. It was Canada's first Summer Olympic Games team medal since 1936.
The third-place finish by the women's national soccer team was the best-ever result in a major international competition in program history.
