Chasing history, Christine Sinclair scores goal No. 179 in Algarve Cup win over Scotland Globe_Sports
The fifth-ranked Canadians tied No. 22 Iceland 0-0 on Wednesday at the women’s soccer tournament. And it looked like another scoreless draw Friday against the 20th-ranked Scots until Chloe Arthur took down Canadian Ashley Lawrence as she dribbled her way into the penalty box.Sinclair, a 35-year-old from Burnaby, B.C., playing her 277th international, stepped up to the spot and calmly slotted the ball past a diving Lee Alexander for the win at the Estadio Municipal de Lagos.
“As the game wore on, having that goal was so important for us, and we found a way,” said Canada coach Kenneth Heiner-Moiller. As McLeod raced back into position, Erin Cuthbert chipped the ball towards goal but it was headed away by Kadeisha Buchanan.
