Canada women’s soccer team ends scandal-plagued Olympic run in penalty shootout loss to Germany [Video]

MARSEILLE, France — Canada women’s soccer team lost a penalty shootout to Germany in the quarterfinals of the Paris Games on Saturday, ending an Olympic run marred by a drone-spying scandal.

Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger saved two penalties then converted on her own attempt to send Germany into the semifinals with a 4-2 shootout win after a scoreless draw through extra time.

Germany, which won the gold medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, will play the United States in the semifinals Tuesday in Lyon. The United States defeated Germany 4-1 earlier in the tournament.

Sydney Lohmann nearly scored for Germany in the second extra period but her header from some six yards out just skimmed the crossbar.

Adriana Leon had perhaps the best chance of the match for Canada in the 71st minute when she threatened on a fast break, but Berger was ready.

Canada went undefeated …
