SAO JOAO DA VENDA, Portugal — Canada’s bid to defend its Algarve Cup title ended in a 1-0 loss to Spain in the final of the 12-team women’s soccer tournament Wednesday. As in the final group game against Portugal — a 0-0 tie — Canada generated a string of chances but was unable to convert. We had three chances and scored two,” Herdman said, citing last year’s 2-1 win. “This game we had 11, 12 (chances) and scored zero — and some really good ones. Anticipating that, Herdman started Sinclair on the bench with Huitema and Nichelle Prince leading the attack.
