Group Stage | Canada vs El Salvador
Shell Energy Stadium

Canada kicked off its Concacaf W Gold Cup title hopes with a 6-0 victory over El Salvador in Group C on Thursday night at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Cloe Lacasse opened the scoring in the 3’ by cutting inside on the right flank and driving into the box, capping the play with a left-footed strike past Idalia Serrano.

El Salvador tried to respond through Brenda Ceren, who intercepted a ball from the defense in the 18’ to develop an opportunity on goal, but Canada GK Sabrina D’Angelo captured the attempt.

Jordyn Huitema extended the lead for Canada in the 24’ to 2-0 with a touch just outside the edge of the goal area. The service came in from the right field, as Lacasse added an assist to her day.

Adriana Leon then made it a three-goal lead in the 28’ to tap in what was another service from Lacasse.

El Salvador developed one of its better attacking efforts in the 55’ from a free kick opportunity, but Danya Gutierrez could not connect with Makenna Dominguez inside the box. Seconds after, Andrea Amaya provided a cross into the area, but just missed Samantha Fisher.

Leon doubled her tally from the penalty spot in the 59’, hitting the top left corner despite Serrano diving the right way to make it 4-0.

Kadeisha Buchanan provided a header towards goal in the 62’ to connect on a corner kick service from Olivia Smith, extending the lead to 5-0.

Smith wrapped up the scoring and 6-0 scoreline by etching her name onto the scoresheet in the 86’.

Canada will play Paraguay in the first of two Group C matches at Shell Energy Stadium on Sunday, followed by El Salvador against Costa Rica.
