MONTERREY, Mexico — Alex Morgan converted on a penalty shot in the 78th minute and the U.S. national team edged Canada, 1-0, to win the CONCACAF W Championship on Monday night to secure one of the region’s spots in the 2024 Olympics.
The United States is now 60-1-1 in World Cup or Olympic qualifying matches, having won 33 straight since losing to Mexico, 2-1, in advance of the 2011 World Cup. The game was a rematch of the Olympic semifinal a year ago in Tokyo. Canada edged the United States, 1-0, on a late penalty kick to advance to the final, its first victory over the Americans in 20 years.
Temperatures hovered in the low 90s at the start of the match at Estadio BBVA. Sheridan had a big save in the 31st minute when Mallory Pugh made a break down the right side and took a hard shot at the goal. Costa Rica had perhaps the best opportunity in the first half when Melissa Herrera faced Jamaica goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer alone, but her shot when wide left.
