USWNT Tops Canada in CONCACAF W Final (1-0); Quarterfinals Set for UEFA Women’s EURO Championship
A busy summer in women’s soccer continued on Monday night with the U.S. Women’s National Team capturing the CONCACAF W title for a spot in the 2024 Olympics. They beat Canada in the finals (1-0) on Alex Morgan’s penalty strike (78’) for the only goal of the game. Both teams had chances in the first half, but Rose Lavelle drew a foul in the box late in the match to set up Morgan’s winner.
Fun Fact: The win boosted the USWNT’s record in World Cup and Olympic qualifying matches to 60-1-1 all time. They haven’t lost since 2011 against Mexico.
