Centre back Vanessa Gilles' early goal lifted Canada past the third-ranked Germans, a 1-0 decision that moved the Olympic champions atop the standings at the four-team Arnold Clark Cup. It was only Canada's second win in 17 meetings (2-15-0) with Germany.

The sixth-ranked Canadian women face No. 9 Spain on Wednesday at Wolverhampton's Molineux Stadium with a chance to capture the inaugural tournament title. While Spain has yet to win at the four-team competition, it has impressed and Canada will have its hands full against the likes of world player of the year Alexia Putellas and her cohort.

It was Canada's first goal off a set piece in a year, with Jen Herst, a recent hire as goalkeeper and set piece coach, clearly leaving her mark.No. 8 England and Spain played to a scoreless draw in the opener of Sunday's doubleheader at Carrow Road. "I thought we started really well, bright, but you probably would have felt, particularly the last 20 minutes of the game, we just found a way to win. … We had our chances. We could have put them away."

Voss-Tecklenburg was complimentary towards Canada, saying the Olympic champions had great team spirit and came as expected.Canada's lone previous victory over Germany was a 2-0 decision in group play at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Germany avenged that loss a week later with a 2-1 semifinal victory before defeating Sweden 2-1 to win gold. The Canadians claimed bronze after dispatching host Brazil 2-1.

It marked the first start and fourth cap for the 28-year-old Lacasse, a forward who plays in Portugal for Benfica. It was cap No. 75 for Quinn, who had an outstanding game.Unlike its opener against England, Canada started well and caused the Germans problems with its press. Germany came on as the half wore on, however.

Germany appealed for another penalty in the 68th minute, alleging Gilles had impeded German substitute Giulia Gwinn as she looked to burst into the penalty box.
