00:00Athletic in there are gonna have to cover a lot of ground against an athletic midfielder of Cote d'Ivoire and Ahmed Nelson
00:07Jefferson alarms an interesting duo up top car alarm captains aside and he's got a lot of trust with Jesse Marsh heading into this game
00:14We mentioned the 50th cap for seven new stack on the weekend a couple of
00:18Cap moments that we'll get to with the insertion of Lahren and Astoria into the lineup
00:22We'll get to that coming up shortly as the banners gets it to be exchanged and the final poses for each side here
00:30Cote d'Ivoire not wanting to leave
00:33They've come all this way empty-handed of course
00:36After the 1-0 defeated the hands of new zealand in their opener of this canadian shield
00:43With all those changes
00:47Derek cornelis the one guy of course sticking around onto that lineup for today
00:53And the officials philip d'Ivoire is the man in charge of this match
01:01And they have to do a little bit of a shuffle so he got the call late to come into this match
01:05And the coin toss
01:16As we get set to close up this canadian shield and crowd filled it nicely
01:20After the early match
01:26So a victory for ukraine
01:30Holding off new zealand
01:32And here's a look at what kotovar has in store for canada
01:36Yeah, it changes from them as well blakey they go to that experience really with frank kese
01:42Former milan barcelona my new please football
01:45In the middle east he comes in the middle of part once he got the forest player in him
01:49Sangari and cosuno at the back line at atlanta man, so players that play at the highest level have played at the highest level
01:56The most interesting part of this team is at the front four
01:59And dingra, gusang, pepe and guiagong we'll see what kind of setup they are we think that gusang will be
02:06The focal point number nine he was devastating off the left in the first game in the first half against new zealand, but
02:12A lot of quality there a lot of pace and on the counter attack
02:16Canada will have to concentrate otherwise they guys could cause them tons of problems
02:21European veteran sebastian allaire on the bench though one
02:25Option for coat de voire a little bit later
02:30And they do have a debutant as well perfect you go
02:34making his
02:36debut here against canada
02:39And scoring first
02:41will be interesting both sides riding
02:45Absolutely crazy runs
02:4711 wins in a row for coat de voire when they get the first one
02:52And under jesse marsh it has been seven straight for canada when they score first
03:01We'll see if
03:02Those numbers can hold for either side
03:05Here in this one and the press is on already with that speed of jayna nelson forcing the issue
03:10And the first throw in
03:14Goes to the african side as canada
03:18Bolts out of the gates
03:20Single to throw it
03:25And it could be rising to greet that one the sorio battling for possession
03:30On to the near side touchline
03:37Kona gets it back
03:40Ahmed tracking back gasol charging towards goal won't get the pass
03:44But it is an early corner here for coat de voire
03:47Yeah coat de voire played some
03:50Nice quick stuff in the near flank here left-hand side and trying to get the ball in really quickly to
03:56Devon gusam
03:57He's through the middle he's a focal point he's got the size
04:03See a little
04:04Give and go ali i made with a press that was broken and then that's what happens
04:08He get behind
04:10Get at the back floor danger here from this first corner kick of the game
04:18Bigger
04:26And swiggy ball no he'll send it short peppy
04:30Challenged by nelson now in the ground towards goal but well over the bar
04:34I thought was caught in two mines weather to to try and cross it to the far post and have a shot and it was neither in the end
04:422v2 out in the white areas and peppy with a little
04:47That wiggle to create the space for the ding it up
04:53It's kyle laran
04:57Take it off of him
04:59Diego
05:00Again in his first appearance for coat de voire
05:04Lost control of the ball and canada will throw from a deep spot here in its own half
05:19Ramp back keeled by larry to keep it alive jefferson a touch on it as well
05:25kone
05:27Coming together with kessie the two eights kessie wins that one
05:30In for gassado clear by waterman right into the chest of his keeper just about it was an awkward one for joe waterman
05:37He had to
05:38stretch his right leg
05:40Got enough on it to get it near and give dancing clear time to come out
05:45The threats near from coat de voire they're not hanging around when they get the chance to go forward attack with numbers are doing so in the early stages
05:53Foul on nelson
05:57As he takes out singo
05:59March in the back there by nelson
06:09Going up for gassar who will be a handful size and speed for
06:17Go to war ahmed came into dispossessed but now kessie
06:22Steals it back gets up
06:26Surrounded by red
06:29And sora nearly able to get away with it. Yeah three players all around gassar
06:33Really prevent them playing it forward as he comes he just takes opportunity to go over here a little neck from
06:41Mali ahmed little traps being set particularly in the wider areas by
06:46Canada like this to try and go and pinch the ball
06:52Meal is protecting season up for a goal kick
07:01Dane st. Clair
07:04Will he be the man in 2026 it seems a bit of a dark fight right now, doesn't it with him and max curveball. Yeah, I think that's gonna go
07:13On and on right until the final days before the first game here
07:17June 12 20 26 both guys fighting hard for that
07:21Start and spot both very capable at the moment. I'd say Sinclair's in pole position
07:28Jefferson will to collect that a story a little heavy touch but
07:33Ahmed collects for lorraine
07:35As usual ritual area in the middle of things they'll do it's already running in
07:50Jefferson get it back for a serial tackle over the top pony taken down now
07:58Sangare came in heavy
08:00Yes
08:02Ferocious in the middle of that park isn't it?
08:05Casey's at a good start to the game
08:07Now playing with Al Ali but
08:09He's played all over the biggest clubs in europe and he's really in there
08:13This is the challenge from
08:15Sangare on
08:17Ishmael Kony it's free kicking
08:20Quite a dangerous area what is it about 40 yards out
08:23Chance to swing it into the box at the could be there
08:28Mali Ahmed
08:30Gonna be careful of the counter-attack you see on the far side
08:34Dingler's is hanging out there
08:36I'm gonna get the delivery right can they put it right in that space between
08:40Defense and goalkeeper
08:43Yeah now the cubing no it is the ramp low driving ball to make a play
08:50Up to Kone now it's into the gopher
08:52Laren and he's offside
08:53The flag is up and they finally blow play down
08:56But philip dudes was maybe a little bit slow to react to the flag himself
09:03It was a poor first ball from Ali Ahmed but then he's right on to this second one what a tackle it is
09:10He tries to get it out early it doesn't give Laren time to come back into an on-site position
09:15He's fighting to get it shot away and eventually
09:18Back to Waterman he puts away but the whistle are gone and definitely offside Kyle Laren
09:23He's going to run a spin away from that one now the cross is there
09:30Kone clears into a safe position
09:40Is that great
09:44Just behind everybody including Kone
09:47Kubi's got to be quick with it
09:50Nice passing by Canada for the first time really
09:53But they can't build up
09:55Cassie down the right side and Ingram
09:58Trying to cut it back now goes toward goal but the angle is impossible
10:03Get it banks it off of Dasekler wins the quarter
10:08Yeah, I think I thought that myself Blake the first angle but I think Sinclair just wages himself next to the pose
10:15Just clips off at tight angle
10:17His touch wasn't as tight as it needed to be see there Sinclair just pulls his hands away at last minute
10:25We're forced to head that back into play
10:28On a couple of occasions down to keep the ball alive jeffeson
10:36Straight through the trio of teammates
10:39We're seeing laird back just a little bit jesse marsh
10:48It was clear that learn without jonathan david beside him would sort of play in jonathan david role with jeffeson might be
10:55The man highest up
10:57The man highest up
11:00Pass on to the open side track down for kasuna
11:05Pepe
11:07Big run
11:11All escapes
11:13Canada won't be allowed to take over as they calm things down a little bit here past the eight minute mark now
11:18At bebo field and the only time it's calm is when the balls out the out the park either for a goal kick or a throwing
11:26At the moment it's very very frantic when the balls in play in both sides
11:30Having to play an incredible pace that
11:33Try and keep possession because of the press and the intensity of the opposition
11:41A lot of speed out there for both sides
11:45The sooner sidesteps jeffeson
11:48It's passed by sagaray another ball ahead of the people casson beyond his reach and his hands are in the air
11:55Wanting bitter service perhaps an idea the early ball from single he just had to feed it in more rather than
12:03Play it the pace that he did just touch it
12:07Lorea jeffeson wants it in the middle instead of short for ahmed
12:11And he's just a step ahead the flag goes up
12:15So promising for canada promising that was a tight one wasn't it ali ahmed might give us a better angle yeah, he is just off
12:23Just centimeters. Yeah, not a lot good run good play down the right the combination between britchell area and ali ahmed
12:39Madra ali sangaray in
12:42goal for
12:44put to bar and
12:4639 year old getting some rare action
12:48If he has fought up has been getting the bulk of the world cup qualification, so
12:54The elder statesman with a couple of matches here. He started both of the canadian shield there
12:59Would love to test him the back heel intended for jeffeson to kessie instead, but nelson forces the issue wins it back nelson
13:06By line
13:08Couldn't cut it back, but it looked like that might have banked off the defender and out and nothing doing since phil dewich it's a goal kick
13:14Yeah, I just think it caught jaden nelson's feet in the way out
13:17Love this slow the press again from nelson then no thoughts about spinning back. He's driving right towards
13:23The 18-yard box gets in there. Yeah, maybe a right blake might have been there
13:27The defender it's quite hard to tell. I love the positivity from nelson first to press and then to drive towards goal
13:41Talk from behind everybody, what do you think of the self-criticism of nelson as a substitute last match?
13:47He's disappointed. He didn't get a couple of goals suggesting. Yeah, yeah, of course. I mean
13:52These guys are perfect. They're something they always want. What more? I love that attitude
13:58Can never think in the finished product. Nelson knows he's got a lot to go
14:03Highlights the huge potential that he has and he goes again with the press
14:08I think his final product has been better. It's improving all the time. It's still got to keep improving
14:14And certainly a player on their eyes with the Vancouver whitecaps and the canadian men's national team
14:22And it could be
14:25There's enough singles head
14:27All the way back now for song great
14:37Guessing
14:43All over the top of ding rub won't be able to catch up to that dean st. Clair will
14:48Walk it back into his arms and a quick roll out for sam at a cubby on the left side
14:55Looks like all symptoms for all three whitecaps are over and done with after
15:00Their visit to cruises dual the cocky calf champions cup all three in the starting lineup here for this one jemison makes the turn
15:05That's awful
15:09Tights off of
15:11Sangare's feet
15:13Coney now
15:15Their pressure
15:17Back to add a cuban
15:19Coney the ivorian born ishmael coney moved to canada went for all area when he was seven, but i'm sure an interesting matchup for him
15:30The south trying to tuck that in for ding rub doesn't work now at a cubby with some space
15:41Nelson
15:42Locks that back for cornelius
15:44Oh, man for laran
15:56Is being harassed from behind?
16:00And kessie coming together
16:04I feel Jewish just wants to come this down
16:08Guess he's right up for this one. We've got a point approved and start
16:12On saturday in the defeat to new zealand and
16:15You can see that he's he's right up for this one. He comes in and laura and in a little bit of a bite there
16:21Sort of knee to the face
16:23Just to let laura know he's not going to get second all evening
16:28Cordelius finds nelson
16:33Coney rattles off of him still alive for osorio nelson out the edge
16:41A little push off
16:43Gives the ball back to kotovar
16:50Get free about it could be a couple of tugs, but
16:53No call just yet
16:56Down the right flank now
16:58And ingrat
17:01Pass was intercepted for a moment
17:03That was down his back
17:06Coney with the turn
17:09Find some space ishbal kony, but not enough numbers for canada
17:14Maybe they're all run from jameson coming across the front could he have stayed on the left
17:19Stretch the patch that way we're trying to get it
17:22It's ready through just too many numbers here for kony to play the pass
17:31Yeah, that's got a kobe down in the corner
17:36Let's hold on these his ribs. I think this chest area
17:40It's to be in a a bit of pain. So i'm at the kobe
17:43The whitecaps and whitecaps fans breathing a sigh of relief
17:48He's not grabbing his legs because he's that devil of a time with his calves hamstrings and quads over the last 18 months
17:57To sure if maybe just gets drawn on here by accident to see how yeah
18:03How competitive it is in the air canada that's just that the wonderful job of getting numbers
18:08In and around a ding run pepe here over in that area jesse mars
18:14Using this break as an opportunity to
18:18Have a lot of tweaked to some of the tactics and the pressing
18:22A couple of times canada
18:24A bit too aggressive when they set a trigger they try and press two strikers and have left
18:29Sangare free or kessie free they're going to be careful of that one but it's a very
18:34Very very high tempo game so far not a lot of quality because both sides are
18:41Defending pressing so well
18:46Obviously some knicks in any match but canada escaped that first one without
18:51Injury promised david was sent for imaging and looks clear to go
18:56I doubt he sees action here today, but yeah
19:00No injury detected
19:04And it could be off the pitch now and we'll wait for the green light to come back on
19:19Canada with 10 for a moment here
19:21Performative challenge for pepe and dan st claire set to
19:32Get us back going and it could be back onto the pitch as well
19:34And right into jefferson eric ramsey minnesota united's been praising the
19:49Improvement in dane st claire's passing for the back this season
19:53We'll get another chance here
20:02Right back towards jefferson
20:07Looking at that forward looking for nelson
20:09Get a second touch on him because soon we just stayed off it
20:14He was trusted that the ball was going to bounce through to him nelson got a little nick on that forward
20:20His momentum was going to take him past the atlanta defender
20:23forward we'll get a second chance
20:31Here you go shifty and inside couldn't find pepe
20:36He's down the rare boy. You can certainly see parfait here goes yeah, holiday can't you fast isn't he skillful?
20:52That was it the mistake deflect from missouri should have went into coding the gap opened up. He's driving in it
20:58Not sure that the pass was the right
21:00selection there with this space in front of him
21:0316 17 yards out just take the shot on
21:06drive into the space
21:08tries to just slip it to pepe and
21:11read well by derrick ornelius
21:18St claire
21:22Locked down ahead of jefferson there cornelius following up kessie
21:27Looking for a dig group that it could be in front of that
21:31Sangari
21:33Dropping for single
21:35Now it's pepe shoulder to shoulder with cornelius wins that but then gave it back to a digra challenged by adekubi
21:45And the foul is there a yellow card shown to sam adekubi yeah committed to to make the challenge
21:50I think you know
21:52It was too sharp for him get a little touch to it. Now the kobe is going to be careful for the rest of this game
21:59The pace of the game is
22:01absolutely
22:03Electric it's fast it's furious. There's no time to think any kind of little mistake
22:09misplaced passes pounced upon by the opposition and
22:13And at the moment coat devar are winning the midfield battle they've got control in there
22:19So they've just got a little hold on this game and a white free check that is in a dangerous position
22:25He's an in swinger an out swinger pepe out there with his left foot
22:30Kind of a little bit deep
22:32And a lot of josey
22:44along the line
22:47Right on top of the spot almost sort of the vicinity of the spot
22:54Philip duch in there to control traffic for now
23:00Right and goal and dc claire dives across forced to make the stop might have been off the woodwork
23:11But couldn't take the chance and it's a corner for good to work. Yeah pep to try and sneak it in
23:16The near post using the big guys in the middle as a decoy
23:21Don't know if it went in and probably would have came off the outside the post but sinclair's got to get over
23:26And palm it out for a corner kick
23:34The two corners in the match so far both to go to work
23:40The one for pepbe low driving bond kubi was there got it up jesse knocks it back
23:51Conor
23:51Chasing all the way down
24:00Cornelius can't find a teammate osorio gets a piece of it
24:05Drops down in for jeppesen
24:10Sangare
24:12Stalled by nelson
24:14But giving right back once more pepbe knocking it back sangare
24:21I think
24:22Guess all was there
24:24Didn't get the pass but still alive for the african side
24:28Kodak
24:31The deal with ali ahmed
24:32And waterman stepping up to make a play but the falcon ball way back into the center circle and it's still
24:49With cut to war late one from jade nelson
24:53There's the free kick in the post
24:55The instant clear it's over
24:59Arms it out but cut the bar having a really good spell here blake on top
25:0622 minutes old here in toronto like bryce stephen caldwell bringing to the action of this
25:12Fourth and final match of the canadian shield and
25:14Finally a pass wrong for cote devar after as you mentioned a
25:18Boatload of time with the ball here and in the right half
25:27Chila rare trying to get things going right in front of the technical area of can
25:37Overall but kone is in to help stolen back by the visitors
25:42The bank
25:46Longer eight going wide for single
25:54Backline will reset here
25:58Sangare cutting through that center circle and in a ton of space is gila kona
26:09You go
26:12Down the nearside touchline waterman sticks a foot out got the initial tackle healer ray
26:24Rattled between the two of them and that was pulled out by the
26:27Ivorian and it's canadian ball here tricky little customer doesn't he
26:33lovely
26:34balance
26:36Low center of gravity and he's capable
26:38Just dropping a hat
26:40Going in another direction the chance there to find
26:44Nicholas pepe this is a foul at the end of it. I don't know if it was given
26:48Diego wasn't
26:50three kick i'm sorry i threw into
26:52Maria but
26:54Maybe he was a bit unlucky not to get a foul there. He had the chance to put in pepe just before that
26:59elected to go in behind
27:01Waterman instead he may be in front of the pass
27:04I'm planning they're struggling at a minute with ibrahim
27:07Sangari just dominating everything in the middle of the park his power and
27:11P size getting on the ball. They're gonna figure out how to get somebody close to him to stop him
27:18Being in charge of this game
27:22Come on
27:25Returns through waterman and waterman just stood his ground and that's what he's going to contest that he came
27:30Into me but the call is made and an interesting free kick coming here for go to war
27:35Yeah, does he just run in elmort does waterman block him?
27:38I think waterman knows what he's doing you see how he turns his left shoulder into
27:43He's laying corner on there. It's a free kick. I think quite anxious here is look at jesse mars
27:48Maru bello and postal terry you know the sites second best at the moment
27:58The bank in a digra once again are the options
28:06We hit 25 minutes
28:08The digra turning towards goal
28:13the sorio dives to make the play
28:18Pepe with that left foot
28:21And again well defended by canada this time cornelius
28:30Yes, huh bit of a heavy touch
28:32Swept towards waterman and lorraine has to be perfect and he is back to st clair
28:40It's before this this went long a lot of times with the ball at his feet
28:45You see the eyes of the strikers from court the water really looking to try and press but they're gonna try and play out at some point
28:53Be brave to to have appeared in the possession here. I'm trying to go long again. It's not working the tactic
28:58Larrant a bit of a heavy touch on that first touch
29:02Allowed the interception that one jumped up into the arm of water and I think but they play on and that rattle off of
29:09Ahmed, but he was already out. So it's a canadian throat
29:15The complaints about the possible handball are
29:18Towards the fourth official right now, but in the rear view
29:22The ramp looking for a man that got through i'm at a chance along the byline here
29:33Canada in the final third for the first time in a long time
29:39Looking for lorraine didn't work and that one is off of a man
29:44Back to coach of our it's a bit too obvious from ali ahmed
29:48They play quicker back inside get it across the other side
29:52Playing in in small little patches of the field at the moment can we're gonna try and stretch it move the ball a little quicker
29:59to
30:01Get the one out of the shape that little bit great cross field ball that was stolen by ara kubi
