In a dramatic match on matchday 2 of Copa América 2024, debutants Canada pulled off a thrilling victory over Peru. The game was filled with suspense and excitement as both teams pushed to secure a spot in the knockouts.
Despite Lapadula’s offside goal being disallowed, Peru continued to dominate the first half, keeping Canada confined to their own box and testing goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau with several dangerous shots. But it was Marcos Lopez’s headbutt on Alistair Johnston that turned the game around, initially deemed clean by VAR but resulting in Araujo receiving a red card for a high challenge on Jacob Shaffelburg.
The intensity of the game took its toll on an assistant referee who collapsed on the field due to the heat. In the midst of all this, Shaffelburg led Canada on a counterattack and set up David for the winning goal, marking a historic moment in Jesse Marsch’s era.
Peru, despite being down a man, fought valiantly and came close to equalizing with chances from Cueva and Guerrero. With this victory, Canada now sits in second place in Group A behind Argentina but ahead of Chile. The upcoming match between defending champions Argentina and Chile will be crucial in determining how the standings will shift within the group.
