Day 14: Red Button - 12:00-15:00

Sweden and Canada meet in the women's football gold medal match in Yokohama as the hockey final and women's modern pentathlon conclude.

Watch the conclusion of the hockey as the runners up from Rio 2016, the Netherlands, were looking to avenge their defeat against Great Britain five years ago as they faced Argentina in the women鈥檚 hockey gold medal match. The European side go into the match as favourites and overcame GB in the semi-finals, in a repeat of that agonising final. Argentina are ranked three in the world and overcame India in the semi-finals on their way to the final.

A sign of the games easing towards a close is seeing the modern pentathlon take place. The event, made up of fencing, swimming, show jumping, shooting and running, sees athletes tested in all skills of sport. GB鈥檚 Kate French will be in medal contention for this event. Should she overcome the show jumping, where you draw a random horse 20 minutes before you ride, she鈥檒l be in a good position for the shoot and run.

It鈥檚 gold medal time in the women鈥檚 football as 2016 finalists Sweden play Canada in the final. Canada beat the mighty US in the semi-finals and will be hoping they can use that momentum to carry them to the title. The Swedish overcame Australia in their semi-final, and will be looking to go one further than their second place in Rio. Canada finished second to GB in their group stage, picking up five points out of nine, before overcoming Brazil on penalties, and the US inside 90 minutes. Sweden topped their group with nine points out of nine, including a 3-0 over the US, before beating Japan and Australia in the knock-outs. Should the final be drawn at 90 minutes, there will be two periods of 15 minutes in extra time. If the teams remain level, the game will go to a penalty shootout.
