Buchanan heads Canada past Cameroon

Canada broke through a determined Cameroon defence on the stroke of half time to win the Women's World Cup Group E opener 1-0 in Montpellier on Monday.


Canada dominated possession and heavily outshot Cameroon but only breached the defence once from a well rehearsed corner. Defender Kedeisha Buchanan arrived late to head in unchallenged.

The other two teams in the group, Netherlands and New Zealand, meet in Le Havre on Tuesday.
