PERTH, July 26 (Reuters) - Canada's ability to come back and beat Ireland 2-1 on Wednesday could prove to be the pivotal moment for the Olympic champions in their Women's World Cup campaign, coach Bev Priestman said. "I said at the end, 'It can be the making of us,'" Priestman told a press conference. The character, the quality, the experience that came about in the second half, that's the type of performance that we need." "Listen, Sophie Schmidt, Christine Sinclair, I thought their quality when we really needed it, they just allowed us to keep the ball in building," Priestman said. A goal in this tournament would make Sinclair the first player to score at six World Cups.

☆ Catley penalty gives Kerr-less Australia winning start

The second shot on goal came just before halftime but Katrina Gorry's long-range effort was easily gathered by Courtney Brosnan in the Ireland goal. Australia came out with more intent after the break and the half was only seven minutes old when Kyra Cooney-Cross sent the ball looping into the box and Ireland forward Marissa Sheva shoved Raso to the ground. Catley gave Brosnan no chance with the penalty, striking the ball with her left foot firmly into the top corner of the Ireland net. The penalty appeared to ease the Australian nerves and Mary Fowler, who had replaced Kerr up front, almost immediately stormed forward and lashed a shot high over the bar. Australia, however, held on to make a winning start to a tournament in which they feel they can be genuine contenders after wins over England, Spain and France this year.
