Canada, missing some of its top talent, tied Bahrain 2-2 on Lucas Cavallini's 81st-minute goal in a World Cup warmup match Friday.
Canadian national men's soccer team head coach John Herdman, pictured here in June, did not have a full squad available against Bahrain on Friday with his European-based players still in action with their clubs. Canada, missing some of its top talent, tied Bahrain 2-2 on a 81st-minute own goal in a World Cup warmup match Friday.
Canada, ranked 41st in the world compared to No. 85 for Bahrain, controlled most of the play and led early but paid for a mistake in a first half that ended tied 1-1. Bahrain showed itself to be a threat on the counter-attack. Yusuf's deflected shot hit the goalpost in the 16th minute after another Canadian turnover. And Yusuf, who plays his club football for Indonesia's Persija Jakarta, forced a diving save from St. Clair with a hard shot in the 32nd minute.
Canada will announce its World Cup roster on Sunday with coach John Herdman, who used 39 players in qualifying, settling on a final 26. Some decisions have already been made for him with goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau and defender Scott Kennedy unavailable through injury. For the Bahrain camp and match, Herdman was relying on MLS talent along with midfielder Liam Fraser who plays in Belgium for KMSK Deinze. Eighteen of the 21 players in camp were from Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver .
