ST. JOHN’S, Canada— In search of breaking a late stalemate, Bev Priestman turned to her bench for an answer and up stepped Sarah Stratigakis, as the 21-year-old scored her first goal at this level in stoppage time to give Canada a 1-0 win over Argentina.
The Canadians faced a much different challenge on Sunday evening than the one posed by the U.S. three nights prior.
With the Argentines some 30 spots below the Americans in the world rankings, Canada naturally saw much more of the ball in this one and yet ran into some of the same problems that hindered them on Thursday, namely their composure in the final third.
