Olivia Smith provided an assist as Canada began the U20 Women’s World Cup with a 3-3 draw against France on Saturday night.

The Liverpool FC Women forward started the Group B encounter in Medellin, Colombia and went on to play 69 minutes.

Smith, a summer signing for the Reds from Sporting CP, set up her country’s second goal of the game, her corner delivery converted by Zoe Markesini.

That was the second time Canada had taken the lead – Nyah Rose had opened the scoring – but Dona Scannapieco equalised on both occasions.

Hillary Diaz gave France a lead for the first time with a quarter of the tie remaining, but Annabelle Chukwu’s solo effort in minute 84 rescued a draw.

Canada’s next fixture at the tournament is a meeting with Fiji, again in Medellin, in the early hours of Wednesday (September 4).
