Isabella D’Aquila scored twice, but Christine Sinclair was the star of the show Tuesday as her Portland Thorns blanked the Vancouver Whitecaps Girls Elite FC 6-0 in the CONCACAF W Champions Cup.

Sinclair, Alexa Spaanstra, Payton Linnehan and Reyna Reyes had a goal apiece for the Thorns, while D’Aquila also contributed three assists.

Sinclair, who hails from nearby Burnaby, B.C., was playing her final game at B.C. Place and got big cheers from the crowd several times throughout the night, starting before kickoff and finally when she was subbed off late in the match.

The 41-year-old Canadian soccer legend announced last month that she will retire from professional soccer at the end of the National Women’s Soccer League season. She ended her international career last year as the world’s top scorer in both men’s and women’s soccer with 190 goals.
