a convincing argument victory through 4 to 2 that keeps Canada undefeated in the competition. With 5 goals conceded in four games, the Americans were the first to score two goals in a game for the Canadians.

It will take a lot to take the Olympic title away from them in Beijing 2022.

The defeat in the PyeongChang 2018 final against the North Americans seems to suffocate the Canadians. When the neighbors to the south flirted with being in front of the marker, they didn’t even have time to enjoy the moment. The response was quick, unerring, which didn’t even let the southern neighbors enjoy the advantage on the scoreboard.

The same was true for the game, with Canada far superior in possession and puck control and offensive action. Solid in defense, the North Americans had a lot of work to overcome the Canadians. Unlike the opponents, the American team has so far been the one who has conceded the fewest goals of the team which becomes the best candidate for the Olympic title in the women’s competition.

The game

A first period which went as planned, the two selections studying each other patiently. If there was an opportunity, they would take it. There were several, and Canada was able to take advantage of them, with the sole aim of Brianne Jennerwho opened the scoring at 14:10 of the first period – which ended 1-0.

The second period was very different, busy and with many goals.

It can be divided into two moments. In the first twelve minutes, the United States knew how to take advantage of the chances and tied with cameranese, at nine minutes. A few moments later, at 11, in a beautiful movement Carpenter reverses the roles in the United States.

However, less than two minutes later, Brianne Jenner scored her second of the match and equalized at two goals apiece. The response came relentlessly and with interest. At 14, Jamie Lee Rattray turns to Canada and at 17 minutes, ace Marie Philip-Poulin scores the fourth goal.

No big emotions in the third and final period, which ended in a goalless tie.

Canada 4 to 2 and the final numbers of the match.

on defeat, Alex Charpentierscorer of one of the North American goals, commented: “I wouldn’t say it was (a loss) frustrating. We weren’t really frustrated. I think we have to think about it and you know, let’s work on those little details to move forward.”

The Canadian goalkeeper goodson the meaning of this triumph against the Americans, said: “What this victory means for the team, we have to watch the video of the match and learn for ourselves what went well and what did not. is not over, to be ready for the decisive phase which is approaching. There is always a lot to learn, when you lose and when you win”.

The next commitments of the two teams will be in the quarter-finals, the opponents still to be defined. Canada finished first in Group A, while the United States finished second.
