United States defeats Canada 1-0 and wins Concacaf W Championship
The United States team defeated Canada 1-0, with a penalty goal from Alex Morgan, and won the Concacaf W Championship title, qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The United States came out to impose conditions, dominated at the beginning, but the Canadians stood their ground, which caused a first half of back and forth in which both teams had chances, although there was no one to land the lethal blow.
The event that caused this reaction July 19, 2022
Mallory Pugh and Sophia Smith created danger for the American team and Canada came close to scoring with a shot from Nichelle Prince.
The Americans tried to press but found a well-planted rival that stole balls and balanced ball possession.
In the 78th minute, when it seemed impossible to breach the Canadian defense, the United States was awarded a penalty, expertly executed by Alex Morgan.
HOW COOL CAN YOU BE, @ALEXMORGAN13
Canada sought the equalizer; Asheley Lawrence and Jordy Huitema shot on goal, but lacked accuracy.
Earlier, Jamaica defeated Costa Rica 1-0 with a goal from Kalyssa Vanzanten in extra time and claimed third place.
