A hard fought 1-0 defeat to the Americans. They played really hard and were dangerous on the counter, and did have good spells of possession in the second half. States hit a crossbar and I thought the ref missed a clear cut handball by a US defender that would’ve been a penalty for Canada.
Gilles was a monster at CB, would like to see her and Buchanan in the future. Definitely looked like a team that has only been together for a couple days. Beckie and Fleming ran all over the place and were great in transition, unfortunately Beckie missed two grade A chances. Can tell she’s been playing a decent amount of fullback for City.
Liked how Priestman had them set up, should be a good foundation going forward! Hopefully Sheridan can come back from her injury quickly.
