Canada fight valiantly, but fall 2-0 to Mexico to end Olympic qualification hopes

Canada battled valiantly and fought until the end, but fell 1-0 to Mexico on Sunday to see their Olympic dreams come to an end.

Whitecaps FC midfielders Michael Baldisimo and Patrick Metcalfe started for Canada, with fellow Whitecaps FC BMO Academy System product David Norman at centre back. Theo Bair and Ryan Raposo subbed on in the second half, and Derek Cornelius sat out with an injury suffered in the final group match against Honduras. The 'Caps players will travel to Utah on Monday as they await the arrival of the team on Friday.
