Nigeria and Canada were leading 0-0 at dawn on Friday (21/7) in a Group B match of the Women’s World Cup. The match played at the Rectangular Stadium in Melbourne closed the first round of Group B. With that, Australia remain in the lead, with three points (beating Ireland by 1-0, this Thursday), followed by the Nigerians and the Canadians.
But Canada has much to regret. After all, he dominated the game, had more possession (68%), finished much more (16-11) and still saw his main player, striker Sinclair, miss a penalty in the second half. Sinclair (top scorer among the national teams, men and women, with 190 goals), thus spoiled the chance to be the first to score a goal in six consecutive World Cups. Now she is playing the opportunity for the Brazilian Marta to become the first to achieve the feat. Brazil will make their debut on Monday against Panama.
In the next round, Canada will face Ireland (26/7, Wednesday) and Australia will face Nigeria (27/7).
