Storylines

Canada: The Canadians are riding high after their two-goal win against Jamaica on Friday night. A massive confidence boost for the team as Nichelle Prince scored for the first time since her return from an Achilles injury. Adrianna Leop provided the extra insurance goal and head coach Bev Preistman may rely upon the duo once more to help secure an Olympic spot on home soil. 

Jamaica: The Reggae Girlz are facing a two-goal deficit as they head into Toronto. The team was unable to capitalize on their opportunities against Canada, recording just two attempts on target. If Drew Spence and Jody Brown get another start with Kadiesia “Bunny” Shaw up top, the trio will have to build off their performances from game one to have a shot.
