19 seconds in, Beckie scores for Canada. 19 minutes in, Zadorsky gets a straight red.
Of all the ways for the Canada and Australia match to kick off, probably no one would say a goal score within 19 seconds of the whistle would be it.
And yet, it was.
Directly after kickoff, Captain Canada Christine Sinclair found Janine Beckie who sent the goal past Dash teammate Lydia Williams, setting a new record for the fastest goal scored in Olympic history, men or women.
Trouble came for Canada early in the first half when standout defender Shelina Zadorsky was given a straight red after taking down Michelle Heyman.
