Canadian u17’s Display Character in defeat by Brazil

Bezarrao Stadium, Brasilia, Brazil.

It was the group game they expected to lose.

Canada must quickly put this defeat behind them, regroup and plan for group games against Angola and New Zealand; two nations closer to their level, two matches much more winnable than this one.

Brazil had too much for the young Canadians, with Internacional Porto Alegre striker Peglow in irresistible form. The Brazilian #10, scored twice and applied the pressure forcing Toronto’s Kobe Franklin to put through his own goal in first-half added time.
