Canada thumps Jamaica, advances to semis of CONCACAF Olympic qualifier. MORE:
Eighth-ranked Canada dominated the match with No. 51 Jamaica stuck in defence and unable to mount an attack.
The 18-year-old Huitema, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, has five goals in two games at the tournament — upping her international total to 10 in 27 appearances. History is also on the Canadians' side. Canada is 21-1-2 all-time against Mexico and is unbeaten in its last 13 meetings . The one loss — a 2-1 decision in March 2004 — was a costly one, however, denying the Canadian women a trip to the 2004 Olympics.
Jamaica captain and star striker Khadija Shaw was in the lineup despite a hospital visit after a clash of heads with a Mexican defender in the Reggae Girz's 1-0 loss Wednesday. Shaw, who plays in France for Girondins de Bordeaux, was back Thursday but trained on her own.
