Sep 27, 2026 | 1:21 PM

HALIFAX — A defensive duel between the Montreal Roses and Halifax Tides ended in a 0-0 draw on Sunday.

The result came after Montreal lost goalkeeper Anna Karpenko to an apparent lower-body injury in the 23rd minute.

Karpenko came up out of the penalty area to knock a ball down but buckled after the kick and crumpled to the field clutching her right leg.

She was looked at by trainers before being carried off on a stretcher.
