Christine Sinclair’s 180th career international goal proved to be the difference as Canada collected a 1-0 victory over England at a sold-out Academy Stadium in Manchester, UK on Friday. Sinclair’s 80th-minute strike came on a rebound off a Nichelle Prince shot that hit the crossbar. The goal leaves her five short of the all-time international goal scoring record, held by American Abby Wambach. “I think we put on a very good performance,” head coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller said following the match “It is part of our DNA not to sit back and we can counter because we have fast players up front. We took the game back, took initiative, and even away from home we want to be that team. This win will definitely give us momentum and I think this was a big step for us. We’ve played some big opponents ahead of this match, but, this was by far our best opponent this year.” In 2019, the Women’s National Team is undefeated with five straight clean sheets and the win brings Heiner-Moller’s record to 11W-2D-4L since he began his tenure in January 2018 > [
