Canadian Men Hold Colombia to Scoreless Draw
Canada's 26th-ranked men's soccer team gave a strong effort to hold 13th-ranked Colombia to a scoreless draw in an international friendly.
The team, led by midfielder Stephen Eustaquio and winger Tajon Buchanan, proved to be a challenge 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,"
"We are the type of team that can play in these games, be better in these games and win these games,"
said Canada coach Jesse Marsch, who was not satisfied with the draw against an elite opponent.
Scoring chances were scarce until the final minutes, when Canada fended off a late charge from Colombia.
