Canada and Mexico play to chippy, scoreless draw in Texas, as teams commit 41 total fouls | CBC Sports LoadedCanada and Mexico played to a scoreless draw Tuesday in a men's soccer game that was an international friendly in name only.·Canada's Alphonso Davies, left, jostles for possession during a 0-0 draw with Mexico on Monday at an international friendly hosted at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
"It's a compliment to the progress that we've made as a team that a team like Mexico comes into this match and that's their strategy," said Canada coach Jesse Marsch. Mexico outshot Canada 10-5 and had 52 per cent possession. But while Canada looked to play the ball up the pitch, Mexico — unsuccessfully — opted for the long ball in a blunt instrument approach to attack for much of the game.
The first chance for either side came in the 43rd minute with Mexican goalkeeper Luis Malagon making an outstanding one-handed diving save to stop a Cyle Larin header off an Ali Ahmed cross. Seconds later Canadian 'keeper Dayne St. Clair had little problem handling a looping Huerta shot, Mexico's first on target.
Aguirre was a loud, unhappy presence on the sideline Tuesday. He managed a costume change at halftime, opting for a track suit after shedding his suit jacket in the first half. Canada and Mexico last met in November 2021 in World Cup qualifying play in the chilly confines of Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium dubbed "Iceteca," in a play on Mexico City's storied Estadio Azteca.While Canada was unbeaten in its two previous outings against Mexico, it came into Tuesday's contest with a 5-20-9 career record against the longtime CONCACAF powerhouse.
