Olympic champion Canada beats Australia in women’s soccer
Goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan kept Canada in the match when she made three saves on Matildas skipper Sam Kerr. Australia had seven of 11 shots on goal in the opening half.
A header by Kerr in the fourth minute was denied by a diving Sheridan after a cross from the left by Emily Van Egmond. An advancing Sheridan denied Kerr again after a slick through-ball from Katrina Gorry. Gorry, who took a year off in 2021 to have a baby girl Harper, proved a constant threat. “We weren’t intense enough in the first half. I think we were much more physical in the second half,” Gustavsson said. “Sam is a world-class goal scorer and on other days she scores three and everyone is really happy and she’s happy. It was just one of those days.”
