The Canadian women’s national team proved they could go toe-to-toe with the world’s best team tonight during a 1-1 draw with the United States.
A young Canadian squad caused the number one team in the FIFA rankings all sorts of problems, but came just short of their first win against America in 16 years. Nonetheless, it was a promising performance in front of a packed BC Place in Vancouver.
Alex Morgan, often the hero against Canada in the past, scored the opener for the United States. However, a dominant second half from the Canadians resulted in an equalizer from Adriana Leon.
