The Canadians, who won their first Olympic gold in women’s soccer in Tokyo 2020, deservedly defeated the Selecta Femenina in Houston
The Savior lost tonight 6-0 once morest Canada on the first date of Group C of the Gold Cup W. Those led by Eric Acuña, who felt local at all times at the Shell Energy Stadium with the support of a good number of fans, failed in both areas. 4,421 people paid their ticket for the game that began to write the future of both countries in the Concacaf tournament.
Next Sunday, the Women’s Selecta will try to beat Costa Rica to continue with mathematical options to advance to the quarterfinals.
Team that wins is not touched: Eric Acuña put the same 11 starters on the court that beat Guatemala 3-1 a few days ago in Los Angeles for their first game in Houston. The coach’s plans quickly fell apart when Chloe Lacasse scored with a left foot in the 3rd minute.
The Arsenal player received a pass from her teammate Adriana León, she took off Elaily Hernández’s mark with a single movement and shot at goal. The ball passed between the legs of Priscila Ortíz and ended in a goal despite Idalia Serrano’s intention of wanting to avoid a 1-0 score.

El Salvador was shocked by the early goal and might not resist the constant attacks of the Canadians, who were determined to put the game away in the first half. The current world number 10 did not slow down and continued to create dangerous opportunities, especially on the wings. At 24′, Jordyn Huitema, almost accidentally, sent the ball into the back of the net, following a pass from Chloe Lacasse.
The Salvadorans experienced moments of confusion and might not find a way to play face to face with their rival. At 28′ there was a loss of the ball in the Canadian field, which in three touches successfully ended a counterattack. With an empty goal, Adriana Leon calmly defined with her right foot.
It was the second assist for Lacasse, who had participated in the three scores in a dream first half for the Canadians and nightmares for the Salvadorans. It is worth mentioning that Acuña made two changes during the tragic moment: at 25′ Danielle Fuentes left and Danya Gutiérrez entered. 6 ‘later, Juana Plata left her place for Irma Hernández.
To start the second half, Isabella Recinos came on for Victoria Meza who had a problem with her fifth metatarsal a few days ago.

The script of the game did not change: Canada continued playing in the opposite field with great comfort and hurt El Salvador once more with a penalty goal from Adriana Leon at 59′, a header from Kadeisha Buchanan at 62′ and another from Olivia Smith at 86′.
With the result once morest them from the beginning, El Salvador proved to be very timid and did not give goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo much work, something that was expected due to the soccer reality of the two nations.
