Canadian international Evelyne Viens, Vanessa Gilles score in French league play
Canadian internationals Evelyne Viens and Vanessa Gilles both scored in French league play Saturday.
Viens’ 90th-minute goal closed out the scoring in Paris FC’s 4-1 win at Stade Reims. The 24-year-old from L’Ancienne-Lorette, Que., is on loan from Sky Blue FC, which selected the University of South Florida forward fifth overall in the 2020 NWSL draft.
Gilles’ header off a 19th-minute corner opened the scoring in Girondins Bordeaux’s 2-0 victory at Dijon. The 24-year-old centre back from Ottawa is coming off an impressive performance for Canada against the U.S. at the SheBelieves Cup.
Viens made her debut for Canada at the SheBelieves Cup.
