The breakthrough goal came off a goalmouth scramble in the 92nd minute with a sliding Stratigakis poking the ball home off goalkeeper Laurina Oliveros arm. Janine Beckie s free kick caused mayhem in front of the Argentina goal and, when the defence failed to clear, Jessie Fleming s mishit went to Stratigakis.
Argentina had 10 players in its penalty box but could not put out the fire. I felt that it would come. It just happened to come later than what I wanted, Bev Priestman said after her first win as Canada coach. They re a tough team to break down, she said of Argentina. It wasn t the perfect match and it definitely wasn t the best match I ve been involved with. But overall I think the group found a way to win That s what good teams do.
