After kicking off their Olympic run with a positive result in disappointing fashion with their 1-1 draw with hosts Japan, the Canadian national team will be looking to bounce back and claim all three points in Saturday’s match against Chile.
After a strong start to the match against Japan, with Christine Sinclair scoring her 187th goal on her 300th appearance in the sixth minute, Canada were unable to capitalize on their positive possession and attack and saw their recent struggles in front of goal continue. The Canadian players seemed reluctant to pull the trigger when presented with the opportunity, registering only the one shot on goal, something that Bev Priestman’s side is going to have to address heading into their Group E test.
