Without a number of regulars in the lineup, Canada was edged 2\u002D1 by France
The game was the only one scheduled for Canada in the last women’s international calendar before the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand starting in July. Canada was drawn into a group with Nigeria, the Republic of Ireland and co-host Australia at the expanded 32-team tournament.
Sinclair had the first good chance of the match, four and-a-half minutes into the game, when she got to the end of a loss cross from Grosso. Sinclair didn’t hit the first-time shot as hard as she would have liked and France goalkeeper Constance Picaud was able to get a hand down and made an excellent save.
“Some players stepped in and did a great job. I’m disappointed in the two goals we conceded, we can do better there, but I’d rather learn this now.” “It wasn’t just Kailen, I know it’s easy to blame the goalkeeper when you make a mistake, but I thought that happened throughout the night,” Priestman said. “The warning signs were there, in that we’re trying to thread the ball through the eye of the needle; at times their line was so high, we just have to read the game.
