A second half goal from Jordan Peruzza was not enough for Canada Soccer’s Men’s U-20 National Team to defeat St. Kitts and Nevis action at the Concacaf Under-20 Championship 2018. Two first half goals from St. Kitts and Nevis saw Canada stall on six points tied for second in Group D. The young Canadians will play Martinique on 10 November live on Concacafgo.com.
Despite having the majority of possession, Canada were unable to capitalize in the first half. St. Kitts and Nevis scored in the 22’ and the 38’. In the 72’, after a long run from Émile Legault resulted in a Canadian free kick at the top of the 18, Jordan Peruzza drove the free kick into the left side of the goal to pull Canada to within one.
