Forward Janine Beckie, who plays for the Houston Dash in NWSL, scored the fastest goal in Olympic soccer history during the match, netting the ball in 20 seconds. Despite the Canadians having to compete a player down due to a red card handed out in the 19th minute of the match, they emerged victorious, holding off Australia and capping the win with a goal by Christine Sinclair of the Portland Thorns in the 80th minute.
