Lavelle’s goal lifts U.S. past Canada

Rose Lavelle scored in the 79th minute to give the United States a 1-0 victory over Canada in the SheBelieves Cup at Orlando.

The U.S. extended its winning streak to 35 matches overall and 51 on American soil.

Alex Morgan’s header off a cross from Crystal Dunn was just wide for the top-ranked Americans in the 68th minute. Lavelle picked up a loose ball off a free kick and scored.

Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan was helped off the field with an injury in the opening minutes.
