No. 10 CanWNT books its ticket to the Concacaf W Gold Cup semifinals
The GIST: After a thrilling weekend of international footy, the first-ever Concacaf W Gold Cup semifinals are set, with four regional powers still fighting for the inaugural trophy as the 2024 Paris Olympics loom large. Time to show up and show out.
No. 10 CanWNT vs. No. 43 Costa Rica: The red and white topped Costa Rica 1–0 in extra time on Saturday, an unexpectedly difficult match after the Canadians bested that same team 3–0 in the group stage just three days earlier.
- While her teammates took 104 minutes to find the back of the net, goalie Kailen Sheridan kept her squad in the game with this toe-riffic save.
No. 2 USWNT vs. No. 23 Colombia: The Americans stepped up last night, beating Colombia 3–0 behind outstanding performances from breakout star forward Jaedyn Shaw and goalie Alyssa Naeher — a much-needed show of dominance following the team’s disappointing group stage finale.
What’s next: CanWNT will face the USWNT in Wednesday’s 10:15 p.m. ET semifinal hosted at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, with the first semi between No. 11 Brazil and No. 35 Mexico kicking off at 7 p.m. ET. More to come on matchday — we’re inching closer and closer to the hardware.
