Canada came out firing after the break, scoring twice within five minutes. Olivia Chisholm produced a stunning long-range strike that could contend for Goal of the Tournament before Annabelle Chukwu doubled the advantage from close range.

With 50 students from a local Canadian school in Katowice cheering them on, Chukwu added her second with a powerful finish.

Kaylee Hunter and Liana Tarasco completed the rout late on as Canada moved to four points and await confirmation of their knockout-stage qualification as one of the best third-placed teams.
