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.
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 in Coventry, England on Thursday. It was Canada's first Summer Olympic Games team medal in 76 years.
Canada's last team medal was a silver won in men's basketball, following a 19-8 loss to the United States in the gold-medal final in Berlin in 1936.
The third-place finish by the women's national soccer team was the bestever result in a major international competition in program history.
