GB women’s football looking for third win in Tokyo

OlympicsSport

After impressive wins in their first two games of Group E, Hege Riise’s side will be looking to carry that momentum into their final group game against Canada Women with a spot in the quarter-finals already guranteed.

Team GB have confirmed their path to the next round of this summer’s Olympic Games sitting the top of the group with six points, and tomorrow’s opposition Canada look assured in second on four points.

However, first place is still up for grabs with three points for either side securing the position. Topping the group will give the side a more favourable tie as they will play third place from either Group F or Group G.

This advantage gives this top of the group clash an added incentive which is shaping up to be an exciting tie that will ultimately decide Group E. Both sides will be keen to top the group and carry that momentum into the all-important knockout stages.

The game will be available to watch via BBC One or on the iPlayer, with kick-off at 12pm.
