VANCOUVER, BC - The Canadian women's national team battled top-ranked United States to a 1-1 draw in front of a sellout crowd of 28,017 fans at BC Place on Thursday evening.
Adriana Leon scored a second-half equalizer for Canada to the delight of the record crowd, the largest for a women's soccer friendly in British Colombia.
16-year-old Whitecaps FC Girls Elite Regional EXCEL striker Jordyn Huitema came on as a late substitute for her fifth senior international appearance for Canada.
Alex Morgan opened the scoring for the Americans in the 30th minute, before Leon drew Canada level just before the hour-mark, thanks to a pressing attack from home side.
