“I think is it important to have one of these tests close to the to the FIFA Women’s World Cup because Spain are a very good team,” said Kenneth Heiner-Møller, Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team Head Coach and Women’s National EXCEL Director.
“It’s important because I think that we have a team that wants to defend and it starts with our captain Christine Sinclair. She’s definitely our leader and first defender and she’s doing a great job. They all make it easier for our back four.‎”
“The team is in great shape and I think we put on a good performance,” said centre back Kadeisha Buchanan. “We’ll take this point. I think we are in good shape and we’re on a good unbeaten streak ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.‎”
