Canada and Costa Rica both qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup with a game to spare in their CONCACAF W Championship group.
The pair have identical records after back-to-back wins, Costa Rica starting by beating Panama 3-0, Canada hitting Trinidad and Tobago for six as Christine Sinclair’s opener was added to in the final quarter by a Julia Grosso brace and singles from Jessie Fleming, Janine Beckie and Jordyn Huitema.
Costa Rica defeated Trinidad and Tobago 4-0 and progressed along with Canada after Grosso got the only goal to edge Panama 1-0.
