USWNT Beats Canada 1-0
The United States Women's National Team claimed a 1-0 victory over Canada in the SheBelieves Cup, thanks to a decisive goal from Sentnor. This result keeps the USWNT on track in the annual invitational, which serves as both a competitive showcase and a gauge of World Cup readiness.
The victory was the USWNT's eighth consecutive win and their seventh straight shutout. The team has not conceded a goal in 714 minutes of play, a streak dating back to a match against Portugal in October 2025. This defensive solidity has been a key factor in their recent success under coach Emma Hayes. The lone goal came in the 55th minute from 22-year-old forward Ally Sentnor, who scored off a corner kick from Rose Lavelle. This was Sentnor's seventh international goal and her team-leading third of the year. The U.S. dominated the match statistically, outshooting Canada 18-6. This match was the 68th meeting in the storied rivalry between the neighboring countries. The USWNT holds a dominant all-time record of 55 wins, 4 losses, and 9 draws against Canada since their first game in 1986. Canada's last victory against the U.S. was in the 2021 Olympic semifinals. The win places the United States at the top of the SheBelieves Cup standings with six points. They are now in a strong position to claim their eighth tournament title. A win or a draw in their final match against Colombia will secure the championship.
