Jonelle Filigno and Kaylyn Kyle scored to lead Canada's women's soccer team to a 2-0 victory over North Korea on Tuesday, the Canadians' final match before they kick off the women's World Cup.

Rhian Wilkinson earned her 100th cap for Canada, which improved to 10-1-2 in 2011.

The No. 6-ranked Canadians have been in Rome for a pre-World Cup camp since last month.

They open the World Cup on June 26 in Berlin against No. 2 Germany, the two-time defending World Cup champions.
