Tingley Scores Twice as Canada Edges Norway for First Win

Reed Tingley scored twice in the first half, and Canada held on to beat Norway 3-2 at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Rabat on Wednesday for its first points at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. The win lifted Canada level with Norway on three points in Group C and put a place in the round of 16 within reach going into the final group match.

Tingley opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a left-footed shot from inside the box. In the 32nd minute a video review found that Vilde Vinje had fouled Adri Giese in the area, and Tingley converted the penalty for a 2-0 lead. She also scored Canada’s first goal in Sunday’s 6-2 opening loss to Brazil.
