With tournament favorites USA off to a winning start on Monday, fellow title hopefuls Canada matched the result as Les Rouges shook off some early misses to ...
The odds are heavily skewed in Canada's favor, with Trinidad & Tobago a near +3,500 underdog. Canada has 19 shots in the match to Trinidad & Tobago's zero. Still no score, but Canada is pushing for the opener. It's an onslaught through the final minutes of the match, and the scoreline will look harsh on Trinidad & Tobago who simply ran out of steam against the Canada substitutions. So of course, this time, Canada sees a stonewall penalty waved away by both the referee and VAR. Janine Beckie is clearly tripped by Swift, with the Canadian's foot clattered by the foot of her defender. It's a let-off for the Soca Princesses, but a deserved one. There's very little in that, and it's harsh on Trinidad & Tobago. Yet again it comes from Beckie down the right flank, and the 21-year-old Huitema adds another cherry on top for Canada who has made up for the first-half misfires. The shot may have been headed just over the bar, but Forbes had to make sure there was no danger, and did so in athletic fashion. Yet a line change from Beverly Priestman saw Canada refreshed, and the substitutes brought new energy and new life to the attack for a reinvigorated push. A sixth goal for Canada as Jordyn Huitema gets on the scoresheet. While Kenwyne Jones' tactical changes at halftime had a short-term effect, the long-term result was a tired Trinidad & Tobago side that capitulated late.

Four goals in 12 minutes is nothing to scoff at, and was a just reward for the previous 78+ minutes of wearing out Trinidad and Tobago until they reached their breaking point. It was Canada’s biggest win since February 1, 2020 — a 9-0 destruction of Jamaica at the 2020 CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship, in which Huitema and Beckie combined for eight goals. As mentioned, Grosso scored her first international goal seven minutes later, and in the 79th minute made it 3-0 with another good finish. Grosso would score a goal with each foot, her first two goals for her country at the senior level, giving Canada a 3-0 lead with ten minutes remaining in the match. Her effort had the goalkeeper beat, but struck the outside of the far post and deflected away from danger for a goal kick. A strong quadruple substitution from Bev Priestman around the hour mark refreshed a Canada side that was losing some of its own energy, bringing Grosso, Allysha Chapman, Jordyn Huitema and Adriana Leon off the bench. She played 60 minutes in this match before being replaced by Jordyn Huitema, seemingly a pre-planned substitution as Bev Priestman made four changes to her team at the same time. Ashley Lawrence, starting this match at left back, beat her defender before curling a cross into the box, which found the head of Canada’s captain. Redemption for Jessie Fleming would follow after a first half penalty miss, as would tidy finishes from Janine Beckie and Jordyn Huitema, and Canada’s late onslaught — five goals in 25 minutes — led to a dominant 6-0 victory. Christine Sinclair’s goal in the 27th minute, a header from an Ashley Lawrence cross, was the lone tally in the opening 45 minutes, but Canada should probably have had at least two or three goals. Beckie was offside, and the goal was disallowed, so Canada took a 1-0 advantage into the break. A few minutes after the hour mark Julia Grosso scored her first senior national team goal, beating Kimika Forbes with a strong low shot to double the lead.
