Christine Sinclair scored twice and set up another goal to lead Canada to a dominating 5-1 win over Costa Rica Monday and first place in Group A at the CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
Christine Sinclair got the tying goal with three minutes left in regulation — and goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc made two key saves in the penalty shootout.
The Canadians and Brazilians finished tied atop their qualifying group after the teams played to a 0-0 stalemate Saturday. But Brazil won a coin toss and got the top spot in the group. So, the Canadians will face the Colombians, who won their group.
