Substitute Cristina Martin-Prieto scored in the 89th minute to give World Cup champion Spain a 1-1 draw with Canada in a women's international soccer friendly Friday.

Ona Batlle found Martin-Prieto, who was making her debut, in front of goal with a cross as third-ranked Spain launched one attack after another in a desperate bid for the tying goal.

And the Benfica forward headed it home. Spain had 73 percent possession, outshot Canada 32-5 (10-1 in shots on target) and had 10 corners to Canada's one.

Canada, despite being outplayed most of the game, had gone ahead in the 49th minute through by substitute Marie-Yasmine Alidou.
