Canada v GB, Women's Olympic Football, Group E, matchday 3, 27/7/2021, line-ups. BESOCCER
Join us for live coverage of the Group E Women's Olympic Football clash between Canada and Great Britain from the Kashima Stadium in Kashima. GB are already through and will top the group with a draw while the Canadians need a point to guarantee progression to the quarters.
FT: Canada 1-1 GB!! All over in Kashima and both teams progress! Leon gave Canada the lead after a good 10 minute spell for the Canadians, but then GB fought back. Weir was denied by post and bar with her cross come shot, but in the 85th minute, luck was on her side as her long range effort took a wicked deflection off Buchanan. GB are top, Canada 2nd and I think a draw was the right result. Japan are currently beat Chile 1-0 and they should also go through.

85'
Weir levels in fortuitous circumstances!!! Weir's effort from 30 yards hits the top of Buchanan's arm and leaves Labbe with absolutely no chance!! Very unlucky for Canada.
Canada double sub: Beckie is replaced by Fleming and Huitema on for Rose.
45'
HT: Canada 0-0 GB! No added time and it's HT in Kashima! A very even game which has been devoid of chances. Daly came the closest for GB, but she was denied by Lawrence. In any case, VAR may have disallowed it for offside. Viens has probably come the closest for Canada, but there have just been half-chances mainly. Also 0-0 between Chile and Japan. Back for more shortly!

Weir has a pop from the distance, the ball bounces in front of Labbe, but it's regulation for her.

Opportunity for Canada as GB let a throw in bounce in the area, the ball bounces high for Williamson and Beckie can't connect properly!

GB are top with 6 points and are already through while Canada are 2nd with four points. Japan have 1 point and Chile none. They face off in the other game and Chile must win to stand a chance of going through. Japan really need to win as well, but may progress with a draw as the two best thirds from the 3 groups make the last 8.
