Canada 's Marie Yasmine Alidou, left, celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal during a friendly against South Korea, in Murcia, Spain, on Dec. 3.Marie-Yasmine Alidou and Olivia Smith scored to help the Canadian women’s soccer team wrap up a tumultuous year with a lopsided 5-1 win over 19th-ranked South Korea in an international friendly Tuesday.
The 20-year-old forward, who has turned heads with Liverpool this season, was dangerous all game in leading the attack in just her fourth start and 13th senior appearance. The Canadian women finished the year with a 9-0-7 record, with three of those draws turning into penalty shootout losses to Germany and the top-ranked United States .Canada dominated possession from the get-go and went ahead in the 22nd minute when Smith’s shot from a tight angle deflected in off defender Lim Seon-joo past Korean goalkeeper Kim Kyeong-hee on the short side.
Former Canada coach John Herdman, who did not speak to the author of the report, stepped down as Toronto FC coach last week. While Herdman denied any involvement in spying at past Olympics or World Cups, his resignation was seen as a bid to diffuse an investigation into any past culture of cheating within Canada Soccer.
There was also a debut for defender Megan Reid, a 28-year-old California native who qualifies for Canada through her Ottawa-born mother.
