Copa - Canada v Peru

Before David’s far-post strike, Peru were reduced to 10 men in the 59th minute when Portland Timbers center back Miguel Araujo was red-carded. The decision followed Video Review for a heavy challenge on Shaffelburg.

Peru nearly equalized in second-half stoppage time, but Portland goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau robbed Paolo Guerrero’s dipping free kick.

Three Things

  • THE BIG PICTURE: Was it a perfect match for the CanMNT? Certainly not, especially amid sweltering conditions. But three points are a premium after the Marsch era began with losses vs. Argentina and the Netherlands, and a draw with France. Canada now end Group A play against Chile on June 29, where a win books their quarterfinal spot at Copa América.
  • MOMENT OF THE MATCH: David is linked to several English Premier League teams, as evidenced by his history-making goal.
  • MAN OF THE MATCH: Crépeau finished with four saves, further locking down Canada’s No. 1 spot.
