📖 Full Retelling
Ally Sentnor scored the lone goal as the United States women's national soccer team defeated Canada 1-0 in the SheBelieves Cup tournament on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, continuing their dominance in this annual competition between top national teams. The 22-year-old Sentnor, who plays professionally for the Kansas City Current and was named U.S. Soccer's young player of the year in 2024, struck in the 55th minute off a corner from Rose Lavelle, gathering the ball on a bounce before punching it past two defenders and Canada goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan. The victory marked the United States' seventh consecutive shutout, extending their remarkable defensive run to 714 minutes since their last conceded goal against Portugal in October 2025. Despite dominating possession by nearly 70% in the first half, the U.S. team struggled to break through the Canadian defense until Sentnor's decisive intervention. The Americans maintained their perfect record in the tournament with two wins, sitting atop the SheBelieves Cup table ahead of Canada and Colombia who each have one victory. Historically, the United States has dominated the rivalry with a 55-4-9 record against Canada since their first meeting in 1986, with the Canadians' last victory coming at the Tokyo Olympics when Jessie Fleming converted a penalty in a 1-0 semifinal win that eventually led to a gold medal. This time, Canada was without captain Fleming due to illness, while U.S. coach Emma Hayes included Trinity Rodman in the starting lineup despite her recent back injury. The Colombians defeated Argentina 1-0 in the early match Wednesday at ScottsMiracle-Gro Stadium.
