MARBELLA, Spain — Canada's women's soccer team blanked Nigeria 1-0 in an Olympic tune-up in Marbella, Spain.
Jordyn Huitema of Chilliwack, B.C., scored the lone goal for the defending Olympic champions and world No. 8 in the victory over 36th-ranked Nigeria.
Canada Soccer initially said it would not disclose the score of Wednesday's closed-door friendly, but later posted the result on social media after Nigerian football websites and on-site media reported it.
The match, which was not televised, was a final warm-up for Canada before heading to the Olympic Games in Paris.
Canada defeated Australia 2-1 last Saturday.
The Canadian women begin defence of their title July 25 against New Zealand in Saint-Étienne, France.
