"Although it was an even contest for the most part, it was decided in the 55th minute, when Ally Sentnor made it 1-0 to the Americans. Despite their best efforts, the Canadians slipped to their first defeat of the tournament."
"In the last match against Argentina, Gilles started on the bench and was brought on at half-time. Her presence improved Canada's defensive organisation as they kept it at 0-0 in regular time. In the subsequent penalty shootout, the Reds held their nerve and triumphed 3-2."
"Poland and Natalia Padilla Bidas suffered a 4-1 defeat in their second World Cup qualifier against France, with the Bayern player not involved. Ewa Pajor cancelled out Mario-Antoinette Katoto's opener but Katoto restored the lead with her second before the break."
