Deanne Rose and Christine Sinclair scored the goals that won Canada the bronze medal in women's football - and left hosts Brazil empty-handed.

Rose's impressive pace created the first goal after 25 minutes, catching Brazil on the counter.

And she created the second for Sinclair, who took her time to make space in the middle of the box before lashing past goalkeeper Barbara.

Brazil were evidently suffering from fatigue, having been taken to extra-time and penalties twice in the past week: by Sweden in the semi-final and by Australia in the quarter-final.

Beatriz got the hosts a goal back with ten minutes to go, but it was too little too late.

Canada have retained the medal they won in London 2012.
