PublishedMONTREAL — Adriana Leon and Cloé Lacasse scored in the second half to lift Canada to a 2-0 win over Mexico in a pre-Olympic women’s international soccer friendly Saturday.
Canada improved to 23-2-3 all-time against Mexico. The ninth-ranked Canadian women went winless against No. 31 Mexico in their previous two meetings in November 2021. Canada coach Bev Priestman named a 25-player squad for the two games against Mexico. Only 18 plus four alternates will travel to Paris for this summer’s Olympic Games.
Canada controlled most of the first half and had little trouble building up play and progressing up the field, but couldn’t find the finishing touch in the final third. Mexico put some pressure on later in the half. Karla Nieto stripped Fleming of the ball deep in Canada’s half to put Mexico on the attack with numbers, but opted for a long-range shot easily denied by Sheridan.
Canada continued its dominance into the second half. Lacasse centred a cross to fellow substitute Viens in the 60th minute for a chance. Viens then played the ball to Fleming, whose shot from outside the box went just wide.
