Going into the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Canada had never beaten the German women's football team in 12 separate attempts. For John Herdman and his squad, the 13th attempt proved to be lucky on Tuesday night.
Inspired by two goals from captain Melissa Tancredi, Canada came back from 1-0 down to stun the European side, confirm their place as group winners and cast a huge shadow over Germany's chances of medalling this summer.
“It’s a great day. We have had a couple of great days here," beamed Herdman to Canada Soccer after the final whistle.
