Undermanned Canadian soccer women open with upset win over Australia


By: CBC SportsThe Canadian women's soccer team opened its Olympic tournament with a 2-0 upset victory over fifth-ranked Australia Wednesday afternoon at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Canada's coach John Herdman responded by sacrificing forward Melissa Tancredi and inserting defender Rebecca Quinn, but still Australia was able to find open spaces. Forward Janine Beckie scored in the game's opening 20 seconds, the fastest goal in Olympic soccer history. The Australians would come to rue their missed chances as Canada regrouped in the second half. With fists pumping Sinclair and team celebrated the upset.
