Vanessa Gilles opened the scoring in the 31st minute, rising above defenders to head home a corner delivered by Janine Sonis. Sonis later doubled the lead in the 67th minute after earning a penalty herself, calmly placing her shot into the left corner past Colombian goalkeeper Katherine Tapia.

Sydney Collins extended Canada’s advantage in the 73rd minute, before Colombia responded when Leicy Santosconverted a penalty in the 81st, beating Kailee Sheridan.

Nichelle Prince sealed the victory in the 90th minute, putting the finishing touch on a confident performance from the Canadians.

The match was physical throughout, with seven yellow cards issued. Colombia’s Gisela Robledo received two yellows, resulting in a red card.

Canada now turns its attention to a high-profile clash against the United States on Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio.
