A lot of our Arsenal Women have been and will be in action in the next 24 hours, on international duty for their respective countries. Let’s take a look at some of the highs and lows for our Gunner Women.
Cloe Lacasse and Sabrina D’Angelo both started for Canada in their opening match of this years CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup early this morning and demolished El Salvador 6-0 in what was a game full of action. Cloe Lacasse opened up the scoring after just 3 minutes of time played, making a lovely run down the right wing and cutting onto her left foot and past the El Salvador defender, making her way towards the goal and puts it through the legs of a defender and past the keeper to make it 1-0.
She also picked up 3 assists throughout the game, walking away with 4 goal involvements and was probably the best player on the pitch, setting up the 2nd, 3rd and last goal of the 6-0 victory. She played a full 90 minutes alongside keeper D’Angelo who made 3 important saves and kept a clean sheet.
