Janine Beckie scored as Manchester City won 2020 FA Cup
Beckie helped seal the 3:1 victory over Everton at Wembley Stadium.
Janine Beckie became the first Canadian player to score in
the Women’s FA Cup when Manchester City FC won their second consecutive
domestic Cup title on 1 November 2020. Beckie, who entered the match as a late
substitute in extra time, helped seal the 3:1 victory over Everton at Wembley
Stadium.
Beckie became the second Canadian player to feature in a
Women’s FA Cup Final when she entered the match in the 119thminute.
Beckie, who joined Manchester City FC in August 2018, was also part of the
club’s 2019 FA Cup victory, but did not feature in last year’s final. Before
Beckie, Desiree Scott featured in the 2015 FA Women’s Cup Final for runners up
Notts County.
On the Beckie goal, Georgia Stanway provided the assist as
Beckie made her way into the box. Beckie then fired her low, right-footed shot
past the goalkeeper Sandy MacIver. Stanway had previously scored the game
winner in the 110thminute while Samantha Mewis scored Manchester
City’s opening goal in the 40thminute. Everton’s Valérie Gauvin
scored the 1-1 equalizer in the 60thminute.
Beckie is the second player from Canada Soccer’s Women’s
National Team to win a domestic Cup title in Europe this year. In August,
Kadeisha Buchanan won the Coupe de France with FCF Olympique Lyonnais.
