Canada's national women's team will be looking to deliver the knockout punch when they meet Jamaica in front of a sellout home crowd on Tuesday and claim their ticket to next year's Paris Olympics.
With Jamaica on the ropes following a 2-0 defeat in Kingston, Olympic champions Canada return home for the second leg in control of their own destiny but coach Bev Priestman warned her players not to get complacent. let their foot off the gas.
The CONCACAF region will have two spots in the 12 team Olympic tournament and with the United States having already secured one of those places, Canada or Jamaica will grab the other. The performance in Kingston relieved some of the pressure that had been building on Canada after an uninspiring effort at the World Cup where the squad failed to make it out of the group stage.
The Reggae Girlz have lost 10 straight meetings with Canada but were one of the World Cup's surprise packages, earning draws with powerhouses France and Brazil and beating Panama for their first ever win in the competition.
