Christine Sinclair scored her 135th international goal as Canada beat Colombia 1-0 in a women's soccer Olympic tuneup Monday.

Sinclair scored just after the 30-minute mark. Lauren Sesselmann made the pass down the left side before Sinclair fired a shot into the net's opposite corner.

Sinclair has the third-most international goals in women's soccer history, trailing Americans Mia Hamm (158) and Abby Wambach (138).

Diana Matheson made her 133rd appearance for Canada, passing Andrea Neil for second most on the all-time national list. Goalkeeper Erin McLeod earned a clean sheet in her 75th appearance for Canada.

Canada improved its 2012 record to 10-4 and will play its next tuneup against New Zealand on Saturday.
