U.S. women cruise to comfortable 3-0 win over Canada in women’s soccer friendly
WASHINGTON — Sam Coffey and Claire Hutton scored first-half goals as the top-ranked United States cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over Canada in a women’s soccer friendly Wednesday.
Yazmeen Ryan added an insurance goal in the 89th minute, beating Kailen Sheridan from the edge of the penalty box with Canadian defenders backing away.
It was a fifth straight shutout for the Americans, who had previously blanked Jamaica, China and Ireland (twice). The U.S. has outscored the opposition 25-5 in 10 outings this year.
The victory margin could have been bigger Wednesday. The Americans moved the ball around with ease while eighth-ranked Canada struggled to get its game going on a warm night at Audi Field.
