Jonathan David scored in the 87th minute to give Canada a 2-1 win over Panama in an international men's soccer friendly on Tuesday night.Canada forward Jonathan David celebrates his goal with Liam Miller, centre, during the team's 2-1 win over Panama in Toronto on Tuesday. Jonathan David's 87th-minute strike gave Canada a scrappy 2-1 victory over Panama in a men's soccer friendly.
The game was played in cool, windy conditions on a bumpy pitch that is home to both Toronto FC and the Toronto Argonauts. While the Canadians turned the screw as halftime approached, their finishing lacked crispness and it took a Panama blunder to produce a goal. Panama was coming off a 2-0 weekend loss to the 18th-ranked U.S. on Saturday in Austin, Texas in Mauricio Pochettino's debut as American coach.
It was a cool, windy 9 C, feeling like 6 C at kickoff, with some occasional light rain at BMO Field. The Panama players scored points for shedding their warm-up jackets and giving them to the young mascots lined up in front of them during the pre-game anthems.
