VANCOUVER, BC - Canada's celebration of the bronze medal winners from the 2016 Olympics drew 22,508 to BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia on Saturday, as Canada beat Mexico 3-2.

Deanne Rose opened the scoring in the 14th minute deftly finishing a strong run. Mexico equalized shortly after through Nancy Antonio's powerful finish. Janine Beckie gave Canada a two-goal cushion, putting her finish through the eye of a needle in the 26th minute, and converting a Christine Sinclair-won penalty in the 40th.

Mexico did what they could to spoil the party, scoring their second in the 59th when Katie Johnson turned in a corner from Mónica Ocampo.
