PORTLAND, Ore. -- Andrea Neil's header off a corner kick in the 71st
minute gave Canada a 1-0 victory over South Korea in the semifinals of the U.S.
Women's Cup on Friday night.
Canada will play the United States, an 8-0 winner over Mexico, in Sunday's
championship game.
The Americans have won the tournament all six years it has been held.
Neil's goal was set up by Sharolta Nonen's corner kick. Canada was awarded
the kick when Christine Sinclair missed a point-blank shot in front of the
goal, and after the ball bounced off keeper Ho Jung Jung, a South Korean player
booted it out of bounds.
A little more than a minute after the goal, Canada goalkeeper Nicole Wright
made a diving save to prevent the tie. Wright made another diving stop in the
opening seconds of stoppage time.
