Tokyo Olympics: Australian fans rage over Matildas farce against US

Australia will move into the Olympic knockout stages against Great Britain but they have earned themselves no new friends.

You still did Australia proud Jess - and there's still the C-1 gold to chase.

The Matildas tempted fate in a dour draw with the USA as the sides played out a 0-0 draw but the Aussies will advance to the Olympics knockout stage, setting up  a grudge match against Great Britain.

America is the powerhouse of women's football so a draw is hardly a bad result, but the borefest left a sour taste in the mouths of Aussie football fans. Viewers complained about the lack of intent on show as both teams seemed happy to settle for a draw in a match that provided previous few highlights.

It was a tough night for Aussies in team sports as the Opals lost their first match of the Games to debutants Belgium and the men's Rugby Sevens team was knocked out by Fiji in the quarterfinals. 

Jessica Fox's pursuit of an elusive Olympic gold medal will continue later in the week after she claimed bronze in the women's K-1 final.

She qualified fastest for the final and was again quickest down the course but two penalties cost her first place.

Australia claimed a historic medal in surfing, with Owen Wright beating world number 1 Gabriel Medina for the bronze medal.

We're also celebrating another golden moment in the Olympic pool with Kaylee McKeown setting a new Olympic record on her way to winning the women's 100m backstroke.

Thanks for joining us on Day 4. You can read all about the day's highlights below.
