Canada and Tunisia are scoreless after the first half of their international friendly from BMO Field in Toronto.<\/p>\n
Kickoff for the match was delayed for an hour and a half due to inclement weather.<\/p>\n
Liam Millar had the highlight play of the opening half when he made a diving block to deny Tunisia scoring into an open net following a two-man breakaway.<\/p>\n
Canada also generated a few chances on the offensive end with Marcelo Flores and Jonathan David combining to work a ball to Tani Oluwaseyi, who missed just high with his finish.<\/p>\n
Nathan Saliba was also not able to convert a headed chance for Canada in the opening minutes of the game.<\/p>\n
Defender Ralph Priso was forced out of the action in the 26th minute after he appeared to suffer an injury while making a defensive play.<\/p>\n
Kamal Miller replaced him in the Canadian defence.<\/p>\n
Canada is playing the second game of the current international window.<\/p>\n
David scored twice from the penalty spot in the second half as Canada came back to earn a 2-2 draw with Iceland on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Canada learned earlier on Tuesday that it will open the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n
Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated Italy on penalties to win UEFA Pathway A and clinch their berth into the tournament.<\/p>\n
The teams will meet at Toronto Stadium on June 12.<\/p>\n
Maxime Cr\u00e9peau started in goal for Canada against Tunisia after Dayne St. Clair got the call for the game vs. Iceland.<\/p>\n
David once again wore the captain\u2019s armband in place of Alphonso Davies, who is out with a strained hamstring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canada and Tunisia are scoreless after the first half of their international friendly from BMO Field in Toronto.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":574347,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[712,49,48,44],"class_list":["post-574346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=574346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/574347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=574346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=574346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=574346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
