Canada: Mexico dominance hints at bright World Cup

Team Canada won their Send-Off Match against Mexico 3-0 at the BMO Centre in Toronto, Canada in a crowd of over 19, 000 fans. Goals came from Captain Christine Sinclair, Jessie Fleming, and Adrianna Leon in a dominant performance,

Canada controlled much of the first half with 63% of the possession as Mexico sat deep in an effort to soak up the pressure and play on the counter. In the 15th-minute, Janine Beckie had the first real chance of the game after the ball found its way to her feet atop of the box. She would fire the shot just wide as she starred down Mexican keeper Cecilia Santiago.
