In tough conditions against a physical opponent, Canada found a way to win Tuesday. Jonathan David's 87th-minute strike gave Canada a scrappy 2-1 victory over Panama in a men's soccer friendly.
Liam Millar set up the goal with a cross that David acrobatically knocked in past Panama goalkeeper Orlando Mosquera for his 30th career goal before an announced crowd of 23,315 at BMO Field.
The 38th-ranked Canadians dominated the first half but found themselves in a contest with No. 37 Panama in the second half. "It was nice to see that when the game wasn't so easy that we rose to the challenge," said Canada coach Jesse Marsch. "We're resilient.
We don't give up easy," added Canada captain Alphonso Davies. WATCH | David's late winner helps Canada top Panama in friendly: The game was played in cool, windy conditions on a bumpy pitch that is home to both Toronto FC and the Toronto Argonauts.
