CHEONAN, SOUTH KOREA – With Julian de Guzman’s international career likely over and Atiba Hutchinson’s future with the Canadian program up in the air, a large hole is up for grabs in the middle of the Canada national team midfield.
With a strong performance in Friday's 2-0 loss to South Korea, Vancouver Whitecaps FC youngster Marco Bustos staked an early claim as a player who could be one to help fill that void.
“Going into the game, I just wanted to have fun. I thought I put in a free mind and the team behind me did well,” said Bustos, who was named Canada’s man of the match.
