SANDY, Utah — Amy Rodriguez scored the winning goal in the 85th minute to lift the United States past Canada 2-1 Saturday in its final tuneup before the London Olympics.

Rodriguez tapped Megan Rapinoe's cross to Abby Wambach, who overran the ball. Wambach turned away from the net, recovered and back-heeled the ball toward the goal, where it deflected off diving Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod. The rebound popped to Rodriguez, who was a few feet in front of an open net.

The United States took a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute when Canadian defender Carmelina Moscato tried to clear a dangerous cross by Rapinoe but instead deflected it past keeper McLeod for an own goal.

Canada tied the score at 1-1 in the 57th minute when Melissa Tancredi, who entered the match at halftime, beat U.S. keeper Hope Solo — a former Washington Huskies standout from Richland.

Solo made two saves.

Alex Morgan, the team's leading scorer this year, left with an apparent leg injury in the 51st minute; team officials said she was removed for precautionary reasons.

Solo, Rapinoe and Morgan are on the Sounders Women's roster.

The U.S. team (14-1-1 this year) next plays in its Olympic opener against France on July 25 in Glasgow, Scotland.
