Canadian women beat Jamaica, will face U.S. in CONCACAF W Championship final. MORE:
MONTERREY, Mexico — Almost a year after Canada downed the U.S. in the Tokyo Olympic semifinal, they meet again — this time with Olympic qualification on the line.
"You always want to test yourselves and the U.S. are an incredible team," said Canada coach Bev Priestman."I know that they'll definitely be coming into this game with Tokyo in the back of their mind. They'll want to put that right … There's a lot on the line." Canada gradually turned up the pressure as the first half wore on, coming on in waves. The Reggae Girlz had a few moments in the Canadian end but did not manufacture chances. Priestman went to her bench early in the second half, allowing captain Christine Sinclair to have a short night.
The CONCACAF champion qualifies for both the 2024 Paris Olympics and the inaugural CONCACAF W Gold Cup, also scheduled for 2024. The runner-up and third-place team will meet in a CONCACAF Olympic play-in series, scheduled for September 2023, with the winner booking their ticket to Paris Olympics and Gold Cup.
"A warrior," Prestman said admiringly of Chapman, who has taken a backup role with Jayde Riviere joining Lawrence at fullback.
