Lauren Cheney, Abby Wambuch and Alex Morgan scored for the U.S. side, while Sonia Bompastor earned the single goal for the French. A pair of late goals took care of the French for the U.S., who seek its first copa since 1999. "I’m proud of my players. Life’s still beautiful because today we earned the right to fight for third place, which is amazing when you consider nobody was talking about us two months ago," said Bruno Bino, France's coach. First of all I’d like to thank the French team. They’re a fantastic side with an amazing attack. It was a great game and a privilege to play against them today. We stuck together out there. We stayed strong and we kept going when things got tough. In the dressing room I said to [Lauren] Cheney: ‘When we have a corner send the ball to the far post and we’ll score’. Her delivery was exceptional,' said Abby Wambach. In the other semi, Japan defeated Sweden 3-1. On Sunday, the U.S. faces Japan for the coveted FIFA Women's title. On Saturday, France plays Sweden for third place.

Ally Krieger scored the final penalty kick to send the U.S. contingent to the final four. Marta scored both goals for the Brazilians. Brazilian defender Daiane scored an own goal for the U.S. early in the 2nd minute. Daiane was attempting to guard against a cross shot by U.S. player Shannon Boxx. Brazil eliminated the U.S.A. from the international competition four years ago. "It was phenomenal; the goal and then the pks. Somebody is writing this book. It's something about the American attitude and find a way to win. Ubelievable. Look at their face; it's contagious. I come from Sweden I got the opportunity to coach this wonderful team. A great attitude. They bring out the performance in each other," said U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage. "We never gave up. Brazil's a great team. It's unbelievable," said Wambach.
