MARSEILLE, France – They moved past the suspension of their head coach.

They overcame FIFA’s six-point deduction penalty in the group stage standings.

But the Canadian women’s soccer team couldn’t get it done in penalty kicks – which had won them the Olympic gold medal three years ago in Tokyo.

German keeper Ann-Katrin Berger stopped Ashley Lawrence and Adriana Leon, then buried the winner herself to eliminate the reigning gold medalists 0-0 (4-2) in a heart-stopping quarterfinal Saturday at Orange Velodrome in Marseille.
Germany advances to meet the United States, who beat Japan 1-0 on a Trinity Rodman goal in the second period of extra time in Paris. Top-ranked Spain roared back to beat Colombia 3-2 (4-2 in kicks) and will face the late France-Brazil victory.
