  • 92'
    FT: Canada 1-1 GB!! All over in Kashima and both teams progress! Leon gave Canada the lead after a good 10 minute spell for the Canadians, but then GB fought back. Weir was denied by post and bar with her cross come shot, but in the 85th minute, luck was on her side as her long range effort took a wicked deflection off Buchanan. GB are top, Canada 2nd and I think a draw was the right result. Japan are currently beat Chile 1-0 and they should also go through.
  • 92'
    GB are just playing out time here now.
  • 90'
    Two added minutes.
  • 90'
    A ball into the box by Canada beats everyone and it's a goal kick.
  • 88'
    Canada are trying to get a winner, but are running out of time. White is fouled and GB get a free-kick.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 85'
    Weir levels in fortuitous circumstances!!! Weir's effort from 30 yards hits the top of Buchanan's arm and leaves Labbe with absolutely no chance!! Very unlucky for Canada.

    Leon scores for Canada!!! Lawrence goes down this near side, she cuts back for Leon in the box and the number 9 fires past Roebuck!!

    Canada sub: Prince on for Viens.
  • 52'
    What a howler by Roebuck!! She passes the ball straight to Leon and Bright has to block the effort!!! That could have been very costly.
  • 50'
    Canada attack through Viens looking for Huitema, but GB stop them. Huitema's introduction has definitely made a difference.
  • 49'
    Huitema puts a ball into the box from this near side and Williamson heads it away!
  • 48'
    Canada's Viens is caught offside.

    Canada double sub: Beckie is replaced by Fleming and Huitema on for Rose.
  • 45'
    HT: Canada 0-0 GB! No added time and it's HT in Kashima! A very even game which has been devoid of chances. Daly came the closest for GB, but she was denied by Lawrence. In any case, VAR may have disallowed it for offside. Viens has probably come the closest for Canada, but there have just been half-chances mainly. Also 0-0 between Chile and Japan. Back for more shortly!
  • 44'
    Coming up to half-time here and it looks it will be 0-0.
  • 41'
    Canada go forward through Leon and Williamson blocks the strike.
  • 39'
    Dangerous move by GB as Stokes passes to Parris in the box, but she misses her kick and Weir can't control the ball!!!
  • 37'
    GB lose the ball cheaply in a dangerous area, but quickly win it back.
  • 35'
    Canada are caught offside.
  • 34'
    Weir has a pop from the distance, the ball bounces in front of Labbe, but it's regulation for her.
  • 33'
    What a opportunity for Daly!!!! Scott passes to Daly, who could well be offside, play continues and her shot is deflected over by Lawrence for a corner!
  • 31'
    GB win the ball back, but the pass for Parris is too strong.
  • 28'
    Gilles has been penalised for a foul on Parris.
  • 27'
    Opportunity for Canada as GB let a throw in bounce in the area, the ball bounces high for Williamson and Beckie can't connect properly!
  • 24'
    Riviere has her name taken after a late tackle on Stanway. Clear booking.
  • 23'
    Weir's corner is easily dealt with.
  • 22'
    Lovely play by GB as Parris picks out Stanway, but Riveire gets there to concede the corner.
  • 20'
    Riviere goes down this near side and Stokes gets there to kick the ball out for a throw.
  • 19'
    Leon is brought down by Bright just inside the GB half.
  • 16'
    Quinn is penalised for a foul at midfield.
  • 15'
    52% possession for the Canadians so far and 0-0 is very fair.
  • 13'
    A long attack ends after Bronze is unable to reach Williamson's cross field pass.
  • 11'
    GB are passing the ball now looking to find an opening. Chances at a premium.
  • 8'
    Rose gets into the box, she sends a dangerous cross, but there is no teammate there and GB clear! Canada picking up.
  • 5'
    It's been a quiet start to this one, but it's not easy for the players in these conditions.
  • 3'
    Stanway's pass hits Gilles' head and the ball nearly breaks kindly for a teammate in the box.
  • 2'
    Chance for Canada!!! GB lose the ball just outside the box and Viens' effort goes wide of Roebuck's right hand post!
  • 1'
    GB have the first attack through Daly, but her cross beats everyone and goes out of play.
  • 1'
    GB get us going in the black from right to left while Canada are in red!!

    GB are top with 6 points and are already through while Canada are 2nd with four points. Japan have 1 point and Chile none. They face off in the other game and Chile must win to stand a chance of going through. Japan really need to win as well, but may progress with a draw as the two best thirds from the 3 groups make the last 8.
