Beckie’s brace leads Canada to first Olympic victory

TORONTO, CANADA - Canada might just have a solution to their goalscoring woes. Janine Beckie is no unknown name, but she put her stamp on the Tokyo 2020 Olympic football tournament on Saturday.

After opening the scoring 20 seconds into the first match at Rio 2016, it took a little while longer for Beckie to find the back of the net in Tokyo; however, she did so twice against Chile, leading Team Canada to a 2-1 win over the Olympic debutants.

With the three points, Canada all but officially clinches a spot in the quarterfinals of the Olympic football tournament.
