It’s an easy life in goal when the fifth-ranked team in the world - Canada - faces off against the 46th-ranked team - Cameroon - but the scoreline didn’t show the same domination that the statistics did. In their first match at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Canada came away with just a 1-0 win despite dominating in every statistical category. Between the pipes, North Carolina Courage starting goalkeeper Stephanie Labbe had a mostly easy afternoon. In 90 minutes of action, Labbe faces just four shots with zero on frame. Cameroon tried to be extremely direct, but the forwards could never break in behind the back line to face up against the goalkeeper.
