Christine Sinclair added to her record tally with her 188th international goal as Canada rolled to a 5-1 win over New Zealand in the team's first game since capturing Olympic gold.
The tour is to honour the squad for its gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics last summer. The teams will play again Tuesday in Montreal.
It was the also the first game for the national side on home soil since May 18, 2019, when Canada defeated Mexico 3-0 at Toronto's BMO Field in a warmup match ahead of that year's World Cup in France. The last meeting between the two teams was a 3-0 win for Canada at a tournament in China in November 2019.
In addition, the association called on Canada Soccer to initiate a ``transparent, independent review'' at a mutually agreed time of the investigation of allegations against Bob Birarda during the time when he was employed by the federation, ``to understand fully what occurred and to develop recommendations and best practices to better protect athletes.''
