Christine Sinclair was again the difference, this time in a 1:0 victory over Sweden at the 2011 Yongchuan Cup Four-Nation Women's Tournament. Sinclair outran three Swedish defenders and buried a low shot in the 32nd minute to put Canada on its way to its second victory in three matches.
"We played well in this game," said national head coach Carolina Morace. "In the second half, we continued to attack. We were not scared to attack the goal."
“She was five or six metres behind the defenders and she just accelerated,” said Morace. “She was amazing. She has turbo jets and she is not even in her best condition (at the start of the year).”
