The Canadian women’s national team clinched their third Cyprus Women’s Cup title in four years with a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands. Emily Zurrer scored in the first half of extra time to break a 1-1 deadlock at the Tassos Marcou Stadium in Paralimni, Cyprus.<\/p>\n

Jonelle Filigno opened the scoring for Canada in the 20th minute after a defensive miscue from the Dutch. However, Dutch left-back Claudia van den Heiligenberg beat Canada goalkeeper Erin McLeod in the 40th minute to equalize.<\/p>\n

“We played better, but the wind was against us, so it was difficult to be precise with our passing,” remaked Canada head coach Carolina Morace on the first half.<\/p>\n

Both the Netherlands and Canada had good chances to grab the win in the second half, but neither side could break the deadlock. However, in injury time, Zurrer stuck home a free kick from Diana Matheson to clinch the win for Canada.<\/p>\n

Canada had previously won the competition in 2008 and 2010, finishing as runners-up in 2009. This was the Netherlands’ highest-ever finish in the Cyprus Cup. Canada will compete in Group A of this summer’s Women’s World Cup against hosts Germany, Nigeria and France. The Netherlands did not qualify for the competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
