Canada women thrash dismal Ghana

Skipper Christine Sinclair scored a brace as Canada picked up their first points in Group C with a crushing 4-0 victory over Ghana.

Sinclair bagged her first with a looping header from Kara Lang's cross before Sophie Schmidt extended the lead with a deflected header from close in.

Lang played in Sinclair for her second before Martina Franko completed the rout, nodding in after a keeper error.

Two losses from two games means Ghana cannot progress from the group.
