The Mexicans defeated the Albicelestes 2-0 in the first semi-final and will now prepare to take on the hosts for the gold medal on 3 November at the Elías Figueroa Stadium in Valparaíso. 

Thanks to a brace from Lizbeth Ovalle, El Tri - runners-up in 1999 - will be playing for gold for the first time in 24 years. The women's competition made its debut at these Pan American Games in Winnipeg, where Chile lost 1-0 to the United States and had to settle for silver.

In the other match at the Sausalito Stadium, Chile withstood a late onslaught from the North Americans in the final stretch, to claim to claim a 2-1 victory and book a place in the final against Mexico, guaranteeing a place on the women's podium for the first time in the history of the Pan American Games. 

Luis Mena's team took the lead in the 37th minute through Karen Araya and Yanara Aedo doubled the lead on the stroke of the first time. The United States came back in the second half through Emeri Adames in the 52nd minute.

The finalists will meet again in Santiago 2023. It's worth noting that they played a match in Group A, which Mexico won 3-1. Meanwhile, Argentina and the United States will determine which team will battle it out for the bronze medal.
