Canadian Men Hold Colombia to Scoreless Draw
Canada's national team gave a strong effort to hold 13th-ranked Colombia to a scoreless draw in an international soccer friendly.
The 26th-ranked Canadian men, led by midfielder Stephen Eustaquio and winger Tajon Buchanan, proved to be a handful for the South Americans.
"I think it was a good performance, not a great performance … I felt like most of the game we were in fourth or fifth gear and we could have really pushed ourselves into sixth gear,"
Canada coach Jesse Marsch said, expressing his expectations for the team's potential.
"We are the type of team that can play in these games, be better in these games and win these games,"
Marsch added, highlighting the team's progress and aspirations.
Scoring chances were scarce until the final minutes, when both teams pushed for a late goal.
