00:00But
00:01Couldn't run on to it. It's across the touchline
00:08Passes in the space are gonna be tough for both sides with the speed that both sides have
00:16Not sure
00:18Neither is Nelson
00:20What happened on that far touchline?
00:24I think
00:25I'm not pushed there but
00:27opponent goes over too easily. It's not all in it
00:30Yeah, there's not often that we talk about kind of play in the same way that are as athletic as them
00:36Touch and go who you would who would suggest as a more athletic team
00:39So that can negate a lot of the game in some ways. We're gonna have to figure out mentally other ways of
00:45Get some success here. They see Nelson in a bottle a couple of players
00:50Don't miss a bar quote the bar so far have been just as up for this way
00:54It's kind of not much them straight for straight
00:58They've played the better football so far there must be
01:01Coach there when the screen will be delighted with this team's response to a very very poor result
01:08against New Zealand
01:09Although the score remains 0-0 in Canada
01:12Haven't had too many breaches of the back lane and behind or chances on the goal
01:17I don't think they've been the better side almost a 30 minute mark
01:24We saw the second half of the early match today emotions we saw some
01:29Some care in the match for sure and we are seeing it for minute one in this one
01:38Jefferson tracking back couldn't come up with the theft
01:41Guess I'll take it down. No call on that
01:44The dudes just play on
01:49Single
01:50Couldn't get the cross, but it's quickly thrown back in
01:55So great for Kusuna
01:57To
02:05So soon again jeffison in front of him
02:13Dingrop
02:16Be a goal behind you saw
02:18It's a fine defensive help there from richie loran. Yeah
02:25fallen
02:27Simone and ingrat just coming in through the back of him there. He's in a good position richie loria
02:32He's aware that I think that's coming on his
02:35He's blind side
02:38You see he just sort of leads a little bit with the elbow roll area doesn't even get anything on the the head or maybe if I think you had
02:45Better eyes on the ball he may have got his head on that
02:50At the moment
02:52Again, they're just the way that
02:54What the water breaking canada's pay press is a bit of a problem
02:58Managing to find ways of just playing football. It's quick enough that they can get beyond the two or three-man press
03:05It's going to be a wee bit more together from canada
03:08What's up?
03:11So claire
03:13A little bit and it does get beyond the touch line
03:18Because one of the benefits to facing different confederations though, right you get a different style of play and
03:25Canada's certainly seen that in this first ever meeting between canada and cote d'ovoire
03:31Akpa
03:41Asuna
03:43Down the right side pepe just beyond gasa who will try to get the call and he'll get it indeed a yellow card coming to waterman
03:52And evan gasa did enough to attract the attention
04:00And what a free kick opportunity. Yeah, I thought the ball had gone beyond
04:04Guess on I didn't think that was a felt like I have to see it's more of coming together
04:08But he does have his arms out there. Does he pull back this all?
04:13It's a little soft
04:15When you ask yourself again, if when he is in the cover as well, remember that's why it was a yellow not an egg
04:20That is a friendly and you see more leniency from referees
04:25In games like that spot when the striker gets outside and you blow for a free kick
04:30Your hearts in your mouth is a defender thinking that maybe a red's coming
04:35The angle of the pass needed to be just a little straighter and this arm is probably in
04:39And indicative of the pressure the candidates feeling two of the four defenders on yellow right now
04:50A little discussion down there between the fourth official in this free
04:55Trying to explain why the yellow was given instead of an end. I think
04:59What he's saying is the the angle in the past the fact that it was
05:03Moving away from this on the way from goal and look towards laria and a covering position
05:09just about
05:11Now what did joe waterman the benefit of the doubt?
05:18Yeah, this is one of those where
05:20Are you almost too close to get the chance that you want quickly this one?
05:2625 yards you've got and digger and pepe who have been over most
05:31set pieces of fancy pepe but let's see sinclair
05:34We've got to concentrate and this one can they get up and over the wall and down in time
05:46Wall is set
05:49For pepe into the wall
05:53And a foul
05:54Immediately after the kick yeah, I whistle just to check that
06:03Yeah off the head of cornea this part right off his head and he falls over
06:08Right away that he's got to stop the game double check that he's okay go through a bit of a concussion protocol
06:14He runs up
06:16He runs up
06:18Wait so it's like being punched in the face when the ball hits you like that and their hands are down by your side
06:23Hopefully he's okay looks to be in good shape
06:28Happened on the weekend as well
06:30The travails of a defender in a wall
06:41Needed cornelia's his size in that wall
06:44As pepe tried to just get it up and over it's a good block
06:51Some discussions down there
06:52I don't know Rubiello's up on his feet
06:55I'm gonna chat with Samad there could be I think
06:56The players a little
07:02Find it difficult out there because of the way that got the vars player trying to tweak a couple things to
07:08Feel more confident and settled
07:11One positive is that there's been no real clear-cut chances
07:17Against Canada
07:23Cornelius
07:26I won't say no worse for wear probably still stinging but the Marseille man ready to roll again
07:40It's only 35th minute here at BMO field
07:43Canada
07:45On the defense
07:47Raheem Sangare on the right side
07:51Viego
07:53Nudged off of him jefferson puts it back in for gasol
07:56Giego chased back by Coney and jefferson
08:04So very
08:05Giego right on the edge
08:09On the cross
08:11Off of Coney and it's another quarter for good to work
08:13It's tough for jefferson getting bulbs up to his feet
08:17So much pressure around them. It's going to be safe for the football otherwise
08:21You put your team against the quality side like this you put your your team in a lot of trouble
08:26You track back and fairness down, but it's good to be cleaner than that young man
08:31Okay, swinging that ball in off the
08:35Edge of the sixth it's headed towards goal by gasol, but why
08:38I think he might feel he could have done a bit better here
08:45Evan Gerson
08:47Outbattled Joe Waterman sort of holds him off
08:50Is it a little high from maybe I think he probably
08:53Miss timed his jump a bit
08:55This has been an issue
09:00Canada usually looking to play out, but
09:02You can see here sort of six-man press that went long a few things, but not had a ton of joy as they've gone long
09:11Surium forward but the path of akba
09:15And all the way back in canada just not on the ball like we saw on the weekend
09:24They have
09:26Found some opposition
09:29That for the time being can negate what they bring to the table. Yeah, Canada came out the blocks so fast
09:37A couple minutes three minutes or so then
09:39Cote d'Avars settled we're right up to the pace and I'd say in the last 15 minutes or so they've
09:44Easily been the better side can't think of any real attacks
09:48Into Cote d'Avars defensive half
09:51It's all been bits like this that the one positive benefit is they've defended really well they've looked
09:57Pretty solid in the main canada, but if they want to try and get possession this game get control of this game
10:03You're gonna have to do something about this midfield battle coni and his audio
10:07Clearly losing it at the moment to sangari and frank kissy
10:16Dean st. Clair
10:19Giving his instructions and here it comes from the canadian keeper
10:26So get a piece and that's a good thing to throw for canada
10:30That could be down the line for jefferson jefferson wildly swings at it nearly got it to laran
10:41Now the swarm to try to win it back to the corner space for laran getting it away from gissom
10:56Cornelius
10:58Forada could be locked down right into the feet of nelson with the term nicely to kone kone can't nudge it back to nelson though
11:08And our numbers here
11:10for koto var
11:11Nicely broken up by osorio the stolen back but
11:15The break was on for coat de voire and osorio snuffed it out. That was a great defensive play from jonathan osorio
11:23First quick action in the match for him. He really had to
11:26Support cornelius who was just skinned by nicholas pepe went round them with ease and osorio
11:32The eldest teammate out but back in a good position
11:42I will back up morea's pass nearly able to hook up with ahmed there
11:49Cornelius
11:53The only holdover for the weekend lineup
11:55The auditioning for some backup behind he and boys mobino continues
12:07Laurent
12:09Get away from adingra
12:12The fouled supper machine continues to produce
12:20Clip there from adingra
12:26Relious double clutch and then nelson has that go under his boot
12:37Playing it a little bit what what do you do when you're just the calibrations off just a little bit see how do you get it back stuff stuff?
12:44You gotta be brave. You gotta start trying to get on the ball and
12:49Change the way the game's been played
12:51Sometimes you go long you try and do that but the the tactic of going long today has been really tough for canada
12:57Even the lone laran and jefferson have some good size and up against akba and kosunu
13:03It's been really tough, but
13:05Ultimately, I think the confidence is just gonna
13:09Slowly came out of canada a wee bit here. They know that they're up against at this side their quality
13:13They're showing all the quality they have he's gonna get a big play maybe shift up the park if they can
13:2010 15 yards and try and get a higher press on on coat de bar
13:29Here you go dispossessed there by nelson jefferson
13:33Maintained possession tried to tuck that for
13:36Laren and it was tucked from behind obviously called for by laran and he gets the call
13:41I'm the wing for at a cubby conic
13:55Waterman and the sorio playing catch for a moment cornelius
13:59This is offside has to let that one get through for the keeper
14:08Yeah, there's gonna be more combination passes than that if they want to then go longer or in behind
14:14Cornelius put it down to say get it back and into midfield
14:18It's just too predictable from canada
14:22A little barge there from cornelius uncalled and then they win the throw so
14:26Go to bar not able to get into the canadian half as easily as they were the middle part of the half
14:3542nd minute tonic going deep for ahmed but off the mark
14:49Across for akpa just his third cap clement akpa
14:56And the right side jesse knocking it back for pimpin
15:09Squeezing through
15:12Jesse was standing the contact there from larry and single stepping a second offside there
15:19Yeah, i'm trying to go back to the single i think he's on all the other plays i'm on for me. He's a bit deeper
15:30The flag goes up singles so athletic
15:33He's just caught football for yes monaco and legan
15:38Anytime he's had space to
15:40Run on that flank he stays wide he looks him tucking in too often he's the outlet
15:45Why does as you see a combination of
15:49Gear gone or pepe or whoever's out there at that time tucking inside being that
15:54Inside player trying to pin throwbacks
15:57Jefferson for larry
15:59Look promising for a moment and now calamity at the edge of the sixth for coat de voire
16:04It's a sore one for the goalkeeper sangare
16:11Because cosunu sliding into him i think it is a little
16:17Deflection there but jefferson's on there and he slides as he slips all he is he tries to clear it
16:22You see here he's trying to clear out the side
16:25His body's feet go right into
16:27The chest area of badra ali sangare he's down now
16:34Treatments coming on for fun. I think it is is out there just warming up in case
16:41Please come in
16:46It was not a comfortable looking scenario with his defender charge you're right at him
16:51He's clutch here and some of the action
16:55Physical yeah, it has been physical and it's been
16:59Such an athletic match
17:01Everyone out there has been tested to the limits
17:04Such as the the pace and power of
17:07All of these players out there been very competitive
17:11Towards half-time caught the water the better of the action but not a lot of chances in this game. It's been tightened
17:18And the first goal again, as you mentioned believe the stats on this is going to be vitally important
17:24Oh, yeah, I'll met with the in swing
17:26Right to the edge lauren was there
17:29Blocked by kessie and then nearly rattled in for an own goal perhaps
17:34That close for lauren it was right on his foot the great corner. It's one off the training ground where lauren starts at the back post
17:40There's some blocking and then you see him get across the front
17:44He's trying to get in front of kessie does that but
17:48As he has to wait and this comment is his foot
17:51Dropping down it gives kessie that split second time to get a block in it
17:56Little half chance goes a begging 80 second cap for kyle lauren
18:02Tied now for fifth with randy samuel
18:07Catch up to that right into the chest of nelson nearly created a 2v1 scenario
18:14It's good five minutes of stoppage time. I'm going to play just saying it was good from line
18:17He gets the end and he's trying to hook over the top but jefferson's caught in his heels
18:21He doesn't read the play and then he's trying to make up the ground and goes to noon
18:27He's just got the the three yards head start on him. He's got a train
18:31Yeah, wee bit more alert daniel jefferson trying be ahead of the play
18:35Before it happens
18:37And kubi bounces that in for lauren nelson
18:40Wanted a better touch than that
18:52Already a minute gone and stoppage time here
19:01And it could be cone for lauren is there late magic here for canada
19:05It's like tackle away from cone still can canada ball and it could be for nelson in the corner
19:13And again nelson's touchdown will be a foul there
19:19And also trying to whip everybody up
19:23Maybe that's what canada needs here. He's showing some spirit in this first half nelson
19:28Maybe not been on it the ball as much as you would have liked but he's been as bright as anybody out there for canada
19:36This takes a little collision the other off the ball is already to go now but single gets penalized
19:41Didn't agree with that particularly but it's a chance not being many of them for canada to taste
19:49sangare to stop after
19:52Some treatment so maybe he's still feeling the effects of that
19:57Going to be hesitant to come for this one delivery's got to be right
20:00From aliyah made there some at the cubby
20:09Two-man wall just to help out the angle for balayadra bad rally sangare in goal
20:22Looks like it will be ali almen is out of cubby cheats forward just a little bit
20:26Here comes from
20:32It's sangare that has to make a play it's a corner one for canada charging through jefferson. Yeah, another
20:39lovely set piece
20:42From canada. They see corny. So cornelius come from that deeper permit position. He's trying to get into that near post
20:49Jefferson was there as well. He
20:52Decides to pull out of this thinking
20:54Cornelius is the favorite just can't quite get there to get a strong enough
21:00Contact on it before the goalkeeper
21:06Waning moments of stoppage time canada's done enough to sort of keep it to this probably in this only we'll see if much is played after
21:13Second quarter of the night ali almen
21:23So
21:29Far post
21:31Rattles off a teammate and off the side netting the sorrows there
21:36Free head up should have scored should at least have hit the target
21:39He knows that you can see the little right smile there from carl laren
21:43His experience he knows this is a chance. He's backing away from the goal
21:48Not an easy one to get the power on it
21:51But he just miscues it off his audio nearly
21:55Closer towards a goal, but that's been the
21:57The most likely source of a goal for canada a white free kick or a corner kick
22:03Most dangerous from set plays to laren opportunities on each of those close calls
22:08I'm in
22:12Feed jefferson
22:15The turn now into open space here gone
22:19Down that right side
22:25Down that right side
22:28Stolen off the feet of pepe
22:31Nearly back to half nelson steals down
22:35Can he get through it's a fabulous tackle
22:39Slowing up the speedy canadian wear. Yes, I got it gets across here
22:44Whole-hearted needs to tackle what a terrific first off
22:48Not the forest minus had
22:50Probably been the game's best player
22:52Jefferson nearly able to make the turn, but he can't cross the ball in front of goal
22:56And there's the whistle to end the opening 45 minutes as canada is stymied for much of that opening half
23:05Nil nil through 45 minutes
23:08And we'll see if jesse marsh can unlock something in the room as he gets that opening look
23:14For the first half ever versus cote d'ivoire
23:18As these two sides tangled to a scoreless draw through 45 minutes
23:23We'll see if you can catch now
23:23I can catch now
23:25My
23:43View
23:45stuff
23:48Welcome back to BMO Field in Toronto
23:56The final 45 minutes of this inaugural Canadian Shield tournament
24:00And in the live standings, if you will, Stephen Caldwell
24:03Canada is in line to win this first ever Canadian Shield
24:07But I don't know that that means that
24:09Anybody on the Canadian side is terribly happy
24:12Maybe content, but I don't know about happy
24:14With that opening 45 minutes
24:15No, I don't think they'll be happy with that opening 45 minutes
24:18I don't think Jesse Mars will be angry with it either
24:21It just was pretty mediocre
24:23There were some issues out there for Canada
24:26They were really struggling to come to grips with Cote d'Ivoire
24:29They played well
24:30I think the positive, as I mentioned during the first half
24:33Is that Canada didn't look like they were going to be breached
24:37They looked pretty solid at the back
24:39But couldn't really control the game
24:41That'll be a bit of an issue for Jesse Mars
24:44We saw some guys limbling up out there
24:46We're seeing Nico Segur ready and waiting to come on
24:50We think for Rich Larea
24:51More management of the minutes
24:54But changes will come here
24:56And hopefully they will help Canada
24:58To have more of a foothold in this game
25:01It's been really tough to have any kind of consecutive passes in this match
25:08It's been frantic but controlled by Cote d'Ivoire
25:12It was Rich Larea's first start since February the 22nd
25:16He had cumulatively before and after his injury
25:20Just 125 minutes with TFC
25:21So no surprise that after his brief cameo on the weekend
25:26And then 45 minutes
25:27He's been stretched out
25:28He's on the trail here, Steven
25:30He was fine
25:31He was absolutely fine
25:32He was athletic as ever
25:34So it's good that he got a run out there
25:36Like I said, nothing to do with his performance
25:39Just planned that he was going to come off at halftime
25:42And Segur was going to go on
25:43And I'm sure
25:43Maybe other planned substitutions coming
25:46Maybe leave it 10-15 minutes for the other ones
25:50So I firmly expect Mike Lebel to get more minutes
25:54The two central defenders and Jacob Schaffelberg
25:58Who look to be putting in the most work
26:00As if they had maybe been told
26:02They are coming in at 60 minutes
26:04We'll keep our eyes peeled for that
26:05But at the moment
26:06Just Larea out
26:08And he can Segura in
26:10And for Cote d'Ivoire
26:15Nothing that is obvious here
26:18At the 45 minute mark
26:19For them to make changes
26:20And they probably don't want to make changes
26:23Looking at the best they've looked here
26:25In their four days here in Toronto
26:27I think their question marks over them
26:30Will be how can they break Canada down
26:32How can they create chances
26:33All the good play
26:34Didn't result in too much
26:37And in fairness to Canada
26:39They stopped Cote d'Ivoire
26:40From getting in behind them
26:42So that'll be the challenge for
26:45Cassand, Pepe and company
26:47Can they get the other side of this
26:49Against the fence
26:49And get some shots
26:51Or chances that
26:52D'Ivoire's goal
26:53So the scoring first stat
26:58That we gave you
26:59To begin the match
27:00It still stands
27:01Nobody's on the board here
27:03An 11 match winning streak
27:05For Cote d'Ivoire
27:07For Cote d'Ivoire
27:07If they can score first
27:08Seven straight under
27:09Jesse Marsh
27:10For Canada
27:11If they
27:11Can get the opener
27:13Jayden Nelson
27:14Would love to get something
27:15Going down the left side
27:15Inside for Osorio
27:17Tap back to Kona
27:18Segura with his first touch
27:22Little one back
27:22For Waterman
27:23Bounce one in for
27:29Atikubi
27:30It's a Canadian throw
27:32Nelson quickly
27:34For Osorio
27:35Bounced off his arm
27:38For a quick stoppage
27:39Osorio with his 85th cap
27:41Today
27:42Breaks the tie
27:43For third
27:44Of Paul Stolteri
27:45It's going to be
27:48Very difficult
27:49For Osorio
27:50To get to
27:50The guy on top
27:53Atikubi
27:53Hutchinson
27:54But Julian de Guzman
27:55Should be
27:56Trembling just a little bit
27:57At 89 caps
27:58Across for Akba
28:06Kosuna
28:12Pepe
28:18At the back heel
28:19For Gasson
28:20Did not work
28:20Segura
28:21Or be Waterman
28:24Over to
28:25Segura
28:27And now
28:28St. Clair
28:28Back up the middle
28:29To his center back
28:30Can't pass there
28:31From Dean St. Clair
28:32This releases
28:34All the pressure
28:34Jefferson Kona
28:37And then
28:37Nelson going for a run
28:38And just too heavy
28:39And Kona
28:40He is screaming
28:42At himself
28:43About that one
28:43Yeah
28:44He knows
28:44He's better
28:44Than that
28:45And it was
28:45Good play
28:46Pass from St. Clair
28:48And down the middle
28:49Of the Jameson
28:49Did well
28:50To keep
28:51Positioning
28:51And hold it up
28:52And a lovely
28:52Run off the left
28:53From Jaden
28:54Nelson
28:54That Kona
28:55She probably
28:56Should have
28:56Found
28:56A more
28:57Weighted
28:57Pass
28:58A bit of a tackle
29:00There from Cornelius
29:01Fought back
29:02By Gasson
29:03And it's
29:04A yellow
29:04For Cornelius
29:06For the hug
29:06And so
29:11Three
29:14Now
29:15Of the four
29:16Defenders
29:16On yellow
29:17Cards
29:17Yeah
29:19Can I have no
29:19Complaint
29:20Little pull
29:20Of the shots
29:21At the end
29:22From
29:22Gasson
29:23It's not really
29:24Needed
29:24Can only
29:25Does a spin
29:26But
29:26It was his
29:27Foul in the first
29:28Place
29:28That
29:28I think
29:30Was
29:30The most
29:31Egregious
29:31Pepe
29:36In the head
29:38Of the group
29:38Easy
29:39Offside
29:40Call there
29:40And
29:41It could be
29:42Wanted a quick
29:42Restart
29:43But
29:43Eagle
29:44Wasn't there
29:44To find
29:45Osorio
29:45Cornelius
29:56Sworn in
29:57Off the chest
29:58Of
29:58Jefferson
29:59And a collision
30:01And a
30:03Kubi
30:04Taking
30:04Responsibility
30:05And
30:06With the
30:06Quick apology
30:07Perhaps
30:07To avoid
30:08The second
30:08Yellow
30:08Yeah
30:09I think
30:09He was
30:09Anxious
30:10There
30:10Sam
30:10At the
30:10Kubi
30:11Put
30:11His
30:11Hands
30:11Up
30:11Right
