U.S. women win, 1-0

Sydney Leroux scored in the 77th minute and the U.S. beat Canada, 1-0, in women’s soccer at Frisco, Texas. The Americans extended their home unbeaten streak to 78 games (68-0-10). Canada has not defeated the U.S. since 2001. Leroux, a Canadian-born U.S. citizen, broke the deadlock with a left-footed finish three yards out after a pass from Becky Sauerbrunn got through two defenders and goalkeeper Erin McLeod inside the six-yard box. Goalkeeper Hope Solo preserved the U.S. win in the 87th minute with a diving save of a Jonelle Filigno shot.
