Excellent save by the Canadian keeper.

No power in these kicks.

Another save for the Swedish keeper. Fairly easy to pick that one off.

Fresh air! Missed it completely.

They could run out of kickers. Has that happened before?

Cool as a cool thing. Canada nails the pressure 5th penalty to tie it.

The last 15 mins of ET was more exciting than the penalty shootout. The Swedes were all over Canada and had their chances. I reckon there was only about 2 decent penalties across both teams in the shootout. The last pen was a poor effort too.
