Morgan scored twice to lift world No. 1-ranked United States to a 3-0 victory over Canada's women's soccer team Sunday in Toronto. It was the first meeting between the North American rivals since Canada's heartbreaking 4-3 loss to the U.S. in the Olympic semifinals, and the Canadians' first game back home since they won bronze in London. Sydney Leroux, a Canadian-born striker who plays for the U.S., drew boos from the crowd when she kissed the badge on her jersey after scoring the Americans' third goal. Morgan, whose goal in the 123rd minute in that memorable Olympic semi sealed the U.S. victory, scored her first Sunday in the 70th when she cut inside defender Emily Zurrer, firing from the top left corner of the 18-yard box and slotting it past Canadian 'keeper Erin McLeod into the right corner of the net. Morgan's second goal came two minutes later from the identical spot. Leroux scored seconds before the final minute when she ran in on a breakaway, placing the ball past McLeod. The so-called friendly was anything but for the two teams, who had battled goal-for-goal in last summer's Olympic match that will go down as one of the most memorable games in Canadian soccer history — women or men. Canada's captain Christine Sinclair recorded a hat trick in that match that turned on a controversial free kick. Referee Christina Pedersen awarded the kick to the Americans in front of Canada's net, claiming McLeod took longer than the allowable six seconds to put the ball back into play. Sunday, BMO Field's 22,453 fans — a record for a soccer game at BMO Field — loudly counted off the seconds each time American 'keeper Nicole Barnhart took a goal kick.
