Canada battled to a 0-0 draw against Guatemala Saturday night, a result that left the national men's soccer team with its back against the wall in CONCACAF Gold Cup play in Houston.
Canada went into the match hoping for a win to boost their chances of advancing out of Group D play but were outplayed by Guatemala for long stretches.
Canada pressed in the game's late stages. A few minutes later centre back Steven Vitoria blasted a shot that Hagen stopped. Guadeloupe and Guatemala led Group D with four points from a win and a draw.
Canada has two points from the two draws. Canada, ranked 47th in the world, faces No. 165-ranked Cuba Tuesday in Houston in a must-win game.
