Coach Bev Priestman and the Canadian women found themselves having to adapt again Monday because of conditions above, with the solar eclipse prompting a change in plans on the eve of the SheBelieves Cup final against the U.S. in Columbus, Ohio.
Canada defeated Brazil 4-2 in a penalty shootout at the SheBelieves Cup after the game finished knotted at 1-1 after 90 minutes Saturday. It was a second straight shootout for the Canadians, who lost the CONCACAF W Gold Cup semifinal 3-1 to the U.S. on March 6 in a shootout after extra time finished tied at 2-2.
