COLUMBUS, Ohio — The United States broke through against Canada with a 1-0 victory in the SheBelieves Cup at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on March 4, 2026, when Ally Sentnor struck decisively in the 55th minute.
The Americans controlled the match with 64.4 percent possession and relentless attacking pressure, unleashing 18 shot attempts with four finding the target. Canada's defense held firm for much of the contest, limiting their own opportunities to six attempts and one on goal. The U.S. created numerous set-piece chances, earning 11 corner kicks compared to Canada's two, while the visitors' goalkeeper made three crucial saves against the home side's single stop.
Discipline proved costly for Canada, who accumulated 14 fouls and two yellow cards throughout the encounter, whereas the United States committed seven fouls without receiving any cautions. The victory ended a frustrating five-match losing streak for the hosts, who had suffered consecutive defeats including a 4-1 setback to the same opponent just three days earlier in the tournament.
The United States will look to build momentum in their remaining SheBelieves Cup fixtures, while Canada seeks redemption in their upcoming matches.
