Canada’s men’s national soccer team tops Japan 2-1 in World Cup tuneup
Richie Layrea was brought down in the box by Miki Yamane in the 94th minute, setting up Cavallini for his penalty kick.
“It was important for our confidence to get a result, and to win was the icing on the cake,” Herdman said. Japan almost snatched the lead in the 89th minute when Yamane got in behind Canada’s back line and slammed a shot off the near right post. Canada exhibited plenty of pressure in an intense first half with a 4-4-2 formation. However, the final 45 minutes were spotty from both sides.
