Canada rallies from late 3-2 deficit at CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championship
Substitute Annabelle Chukwu scored twice in extra time Sunday to send Canada to next year’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup with a 5-3 comeback win over Costa Rica in the third-place match at the CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Championship.
The two finalists and third-place side at the eight-team CONCACAF tournament will represent North and Central America and the Caribbean at the FIFA U-20 World Cup. Briceno tried two more long-range shots early in extra time but Fenwick gathered one in and the other flew just high.Smith has played for the Canadian senior side. Chukwu and Ottey were called into camp last year but have yet to make their senior debut.
It was 30 C, feeling like a steamy 38 degrees, for the noon kickoff at Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez. The game paused for hydration breaks in both halves. Smith was taken down by Briceno in the Costa Rican penalty box in the 33rd minute, with video review eventually confirming a penalty. But Smith, the Canada captain, slotted the penalty low and wide.
