Canadian international Janine Beckie looks to add to silverware collection in 2019
TORONTO — Janine Beckie has already lifted one trophy this week. Plenty more await this year.
On Wednesday the 24-year-old striker is set to celebrate her 50th cap as fifth-ranked Canada opens Algarve Cup play against No. 22 Iceland in Parchal, Portugal.
On Saturday, Beckie converted the decisive spot kick in a penalty shootout as Manchester City beat Arsenal to claim the FA Women’s Continental League Cup at Sheffield’s Bramall Lane. A day later, the Man City men edged Chelsea in another penalty shootout to win the Carabao Cup.
Beckie downplayed her role in the cup win, deflecting praise to England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, who made two saves in the shootout.
