00:00And in the driver's seat, Cone put them there, releases Lorea.
00:06It's been methodical tonight from the Canucks, trying to play it through for David to no avail.
00:12Drops short, Daniel Pereira, dribbles himself into all kinds of trouble.
00:17David now, Nelson, the goal size expert defending at the back for Venezuela.
00:23Well done by Ferraresi.
00:30Sometimes they say when you go down a man, it might add a little fuel to the fire, it inspire.
00:38Might be the positive that Venezuela are looking to take.
00:42You see Jesse Marsh, the 52-year-old, originally from Wisconsin.
00:48That blue-collar ethos is brought north of the border.
00:52Here's Waterman.
00:55David Wye, Buchanan.
00:57That's our scoreline.
01:01It's Malconi with his fourth goal on his country.
01:04We see more ebb than flow.
01:05That is for sure throughout the duration of this one.
01:23Left in that, Stu.
01:24There's a little bit there.
01:26I mean, it's a foul.
01:28That's the way the game has gone.
01:29Any type of attacking momentum we've seen.
01:31Venezuela making fouls.
01:33Canada making fouls.
01:34Misplaced passes.
01:35Maybe it shapes up, though, now for the last 30 minutes here with Canada man up.
01:39An opportunity.
01:40And they work a lot on set pieces.
01:42So, look for little moments where they try different things.
01:46Now, under the far post, and the referee spots the infringement.
01:50Down goes Cáceres under the challenge with Cone.
01:53Free kick for Ferdinia is in company.
01:55They get set to make some changes as well.
01:58Let's see what's on the cards here for Venezuela.
02:02It's back for Ferrarisi.
02:16I haven't seen that expansive football.
02:18So, I'll bet Venezuela raised some eyebrows in qualification.
02:21Once again, the tackle's starting to come in at this time.
02:29Straight red comes out.
02:37Wow.
02:38We saw the red card first of all for Venezuela with David Martinez.
02:44And now we're getting our second red card of the game.
02:46Rubio Vasquez, the referee, has had to go to the book.
02:53And this happens sometimes when things start to build a little bit.
02:57And the tensions going on and boiling underneath the surface.
03:01And it just feels completely unnecessary from a Canadian perspective.
03:05And they're all arguing right now with Rubio Vasquez.
03:08Especially more specifically the captain.
03:10And this is what happens now.
03:11The referee says, I'm only talking to the captain.
03:14Well, here's what happened.
03:16And Stocki was already carrying the booking.
03:17Kone, the guilty culprit here, came in a little reckless.
03:21And the referee goes straight to the back pocket here.
03:23And this is really interesting.
03:25It's reminiscent of what we saw for Canada.
03:28When we saw Ali Ahmed sent off early on in that first half against Ecuador.
03:35So Kone, in similar vein and similar circumstances, once again rearing their ugly head, Venezuela was down to ten men.
03:46And likewise, Canada, just four minutes later, and it's straight red for Ismael Kone.
03:51So the bigger with the sweep, the goal scorer off, and both teams down a man.
04:01Straight red for Canada's number eight.
04:04And Stockio is the only one carrying a yellow card for a candidate.
04:14The referee straight to that back pocket, and no doubt about it.
04:18Yeah, the replay looks more like the shoulder.
04:20I don't know if the referee initially thought that he got him with the studs up.
04:24And made it the really egregious contact there, because his leg was extended.
04:30So I do think that's a little harsh for a straight red.
04:38So we'll see Jose Hernandez, 29-year-old winger, plays his club ball in Caracas.
04:45His native country.
04:48His club manager is the manager tonight.
04:50As well as Jesus Ramirez, so some changes in the attack.
04:58And Jacob Schaffelberg getting a chance to run out tonight.
05:02Wasn't part of the setup in Toronto last week.
05:06Nelson off it with Kyle Lahren now returning to Feyenoord, as you mentioned,
05:10with a slight injury.
05:12Schaffelberg getting a chance to join up with a side here in South Florida.
05:17Nashville SC man.
05:20And remember, he scored that goal in that Copa Medica quarterfinal against Venezuela
05:26in the summer of 2024.
05:28And we'll also see the change bringing out Matthew Schouardier, the Quebecois,
05:34getting a run out as well.
05:41Some changes in wide areas in the center of midfield.
05:44And here is confirmation that he has replaced Kelsey at the number nine.
05:49He didn't have much to stew on.
05:54Chavez coming on for Mendoza in that wide area.
05:57So change of foot and perhaps it'll take a turn for the positive.
06:11You know, both teams on a man down now.
06:14So 10v10, which actually evens things out for Venezuela to be able to attack a little bit more now.
06:20The fact that they don't have the one-man disadvantage and they have to sit a little bit deeper
06:25and they have to try to find moments to counterattack.
06:27So we'll see how this shakes out, especially formation-wise now with Kone going out of the game.
06:33It might be more of a 4-4-1 for Canada.
06:36We'll see Jesse Marsh as he looks on.
06:40Heather's studious.
06:42Jesse Marsh with his intense focus.
06:44Schaffelberg with his first touch.
06:46He's done really well to get past Kovac.
06:50I'm going to link up with Larea.
06:52He's to it with a good understanding on the left-hand side of that Canadian attack.
07:02Schaffelberg gets a run out for the 31st time in a Canada shirt.
07:07Perhaps one of those death pieces that Jesse Marsh can get a closer look at
07:11as he eyes up his squad in North America in seven months' time.
07:17He's been fairly prolific for Canada.
07:19Six goals and now 31 appearances.
07:21And he's a player that has a little bit of a change of pace
07:24and is good on the dribble, can be creative.
07:27I don't know in this current Canadian setup if there's room for him in the starting lineup,
07:31but he is definitely a player that is a meaningful contributor and a part of that squad.
07:37Here's Danny Pereira.
07:38I thought Venezuela links up with Segovia.
07:40That's better play.
07:41Cáceres on the switch now.
07:43Venezuela playing more expansive behind the likes of Milani.
07:49Trying to liven up Chase Stadium here.
07:53Getting rather listless.
07:56Still plenty of time to change the complexion of things with both of these two down a man.
08:01And it is Canada indeed in a 4-4-1 formation here now.
08:07Jonathan David, the lone striker.
08:11There's Schwanier with his first touch.
08:13Former CF Montreal man releasing Schaffelberg.
08:17Such a distinct MLS flavor throughout both of these two sides.
08:20Referee Rubio Vasquez getting more involved as this game wears on.
08:30Segovia muscled off by Larea.
08:33Referee's assistant awarding the throw-in.
08:36The quality's been in short supply, but temperament has not.
08:43One could say.
08:47Cone.
08:49Cone straight red, but before that, the 23rd with the game's only goal.
08:55Here's Danny Pereira wheeling his way through.
08:58You see time and time again in the Verdi and Black midfield.
09:02For Austin FC.
09:03Good coverage at the back.
09:05Pulled all the way in.
09:06Kova trying to lift it forward.
09:09Canada in a slight bit of disarray back there.
09:12Knocked on by Casares.
09:14And flicked back to Kripp Hall.
09:19Nothing too testing.
09:22Yeah, Canada just seemed fairly content,
09:23especially after the red card now to be...
09:26This game is 1-0.
09:27We've got the advantage.
09:28Can we get the win?
09:29Can we not have any casualties here now?
09:32And any further injuries?
09:33Any red cards?
09:36Amira's on the turn now.
09:37It's played forward for Pereira.
09:40Segovia.
09:41Better now as Kova lifts it in.
09:45There's an uptick in the Venezuela approach right now.
09:49Off of Waterman.
09:51And it'll be the second quarter of the evening for Alvino Tito.
09:54A wonderful chance to draw a level.
10:00And a goal which they've rarely threatened.
10:02He's got his first career against Australia last week.
10:15Look at the latch on to Segovia's corner.
10:17To that far post.
10:18Strong header to the far post.
10:20And it was Teo Quintero who rose above all others
10:23but couldn't steer it towards the target.
10:26And the best chance of the game for Venezuelan.
10:28It comes off a set piece.
10:29Good delivery from Segovia.
10:31The Internet Miami man and Quintero rising really well at the back post.
10:35Good timing of his jump to beat Schoenier.
10:37And then just misdirects it just past that far post.
10:42But best look at the game for Venezuelan.
10:44And a bit of pressure now.
10:45They feel like the team that's trying to push this game a little bit
10:49and trying to get something out of it.
10:51And that's not going to be a foul on Schaffelberg.
10:53So here comes Venezuela once again.
10:56Schaffelberg very slow to get up on that.
10:59Coming together with Kova.
11:00The referee initially hit wave play on.
11:12Schaffelberg continues to plead his case.
11:13The 25-year-old scored four times this year.
11:17Involved in seven for Nashville.
11:22A little extracurriculars, as they say.
11:27It's at the Venezuelan love tap.
11:30Just a little hit check.
11:39Casares dropping in between those two central defenders.
11:4520 more ground to cover here without that man.
11:49An extra man now.
11:50Just the 10 for each.
11:51Segovia supported by Pereira.
11:53They'll spray it wide to the left-hand side.
11:55This is better football.
11:56Milani.
11:58And just his second appearance.
12:00An Italian-born fullback.
12:03Closes football.
12:05Set he beside Avellino in Italy.
12:07Lovely run for Ferranese.
12:09And Ferranese thinks about it.
12:10Slithers it through.
12:11Segovia pokes it forward.
12:13Chavez trying to dig in.
12:16It's still on for Venezuela as it drops for Kova,
12:19who whips the cross.
12:21Second ball presents itself.
12:22It's belted in that time.
12:24All right.
12:26Milani.
12:27All right.
12:27Good spill of pressure.
12:28And you can feel the crowd, the Venezuelan fans,
12:30starting to get into the game a little bit.
12:32And they're playing with some intensity now.
12:34It's made the game a little bit better, too.
12:36Can Canada match this intensity as well
12:40and find their way through this wave of momentum
12:42to get a little bit into the game?
12:44They can't even find a way out
12:45in that first pass out of transition
12:47to try to get a counterattack.
12:50The sparse crowd.
12:53In full throw.
12:54And getting into it.
12:55Ruskova has had some positive moments.
12:58The combatant, Richie Larea,
13:00wins possession back for Canada.
13:02Schaffelberg.
13:04Mash that's crying out for an increase in tempo.
13:07More danger.
13:08Lovely work from Chavez,
13:09who feels the touch from Schwaner.
13:11Free kick, and it will be the Canadian substitute.
13:15And it becomes the second man
13:16in yellow carding for the Canadians.
13:27Schwaner, long-time servant for Montreal.
13:33Find his trade at LAFC.
13:35The guilty party here.
13:37Yeah, just a little bit of a contact to the faces.
13:41Cutting back, and it's the foul on an opportunity now
13:44for a set-piece here from Venezuela
13:46to try to build some more.
13:47They had the great little delivery
13:49on the last set-piece.
13:54They threatened Carpeau once before.
13:57Can they do it again?
13:58Jones and company look to remain vigilant.
14:00That one is lashed,
14:02and perhaps over-audacious
14:04is the way you can characterize that
14:06from a man, Jose Hernandez.
14:07He's pretty much on form at the club level,
14:09scoring five goals
14:11in Venezuela domestic league play
14:13in seven appearances.
14:18It's got to be better, though.
14:19Perhaps an opportunity squandered.
14:27Think of Venezuela,
14:28and the first thing that comes to mind,
14:30Solomon Rondon, Josef Martinez,
14:32Major League Soccer,
14:34Jefferson Savarino,
14:35as well as Jefferson Sotero,
14:38Longstine stalwart,
14:39Tomas Rincon,
14:42John Murillo,
14:43as well as the goalkeeper Rafa Romo.
14:44Not part of the setup this time around.
14:47Trying to bleed in this new breed
14:49of Venezuelan players
14:50to get over that final hurdle
14:53and qualify for a World Cup,
14:55which will have to wait
14:55until four years' time.
14:57Ferreresi going direct now,
15:03and out comes Strepo.
15:04He's been a little busier here
15:05in the last 10 to 15 minutes.
15:13Schwanier.
15:19One real urgency from Kennedy.
15:21They work their way well wide.
15:29Schwanier has the support.
15:33Taguerts holding things down
15:35at right fullback
15:36as Kriper will just spray it forward.
15:38A swing and a miss that time for Kova.
15:40And picked up by Schaffelberg.
15:42What can he conjure up?
15:44Not good possession there
15:45to get it back.
15:48A little bit of passing now
15:49from Canada,
15:50but the pressure's still coming
15:51from Venezuela.
15:52Good-looking ball
15:52trying to find Buchanan.
15:54A little bit from Buchanan
15:55coming on the interior.
15:57Drifting more central.
16:00It's got that injection
16:02of liveliness.
16:03We'll see an injection
16:04of substitutes as well.
16:07And it will be Canada
16:08making some changes.
16:11Jonathan Osorio,
16:12Mr. Toronto SC,
16:13will come on to replace
16:14Tejan Buchanan.
16:17Also, you'll see
16:18Nathan Saliba.
16:19Now playing his club football
16:23at Anderlecht.
16:25Quebecois will get a chance
16:26to get a run out
16:27for the final
16:2716 and a half minutes
16:29in the center of the park.
16:31Ustachio,
16:31really not exerting
16:33the type of influence
16:34we've seen from him
16:34in recent outings.
16:35Yeah, he had some moments.
16:38Ustachio,
16:39some of the set-piece deliveries,
16:40but not normally
16:41the type of game
16:42for a player like him
16:43who's playing
16:44in the Champions League,
16:45plays for Porto,
16:46has a lot of control
16:47of the game,
16:47plays the tempo.
16:50A quieter night
16:51for him.
16:52So Ustachio coming
16:54into a central role,
16:56perhaps a little bit
16:57of a change
16:57in the midfield
16:58and a rethink.
16:59I promised David
17:00he's been making
17:01some headlines,
17:02a player that's...
17:04Yeah, he had a bit
17:05of a gold cup as well.
17:06He looked really talented
17:08and scored a couple
17:09of goals
17:09in their opening game
17:10and looked...
17:12He could be in the mix
17:13at that striker position,
17:15especially when you
17:15consider Kyle Lahren
17:16has been out of favor
17:17completely
17:18and he's not been
17:19scoring goals.
17:19He made the move
17:20to Feyenoord.
17:22He picks up an injury.
17:27Those in the Canadian
17:28media circles
17:29crying out
17:30for promise David
17:31wanting to get some minutes.
17:32Here's his chance.
17:33Big 6'5 striker
17:35kind of in that
17:35Kyle Lahren mold.
17:36Big, strong, mobile
17:37playing his football
17:39in Belgium
17:40with Jung and Saint-Giroir.
17:42He's a part of the team
17:44that featured
17:44against Ecuador last week
17:46and yet another man down.
17:47Here's it might be
17:48Joel Waterman.
17:54How much you want to see?
17:55We've already lost one
17:56to injury
17:57and I'll tell you what,
17:58it's been more stop
17:59than start, we could say,
18:00to put it mildly.
18:05Still a quarter of an hour
18:06left in this one.
18:07Rubio Vasquez
18:08is judging matters.
18:10And his waterman
18:21had to come on
18:22for Cornelius
18:23in the first half
18:24and coming up
18:26the worst for where
18:27one could say
18:27had that mid-season
18:28trade from Montreal
18:30to the Chicago Fire.
18:31Big part of the setup
18:32for Greg Berhalter
18:33and their resurrection.
18:41Pushing everyone forward now.
18:43Canada wanting that
18:44insurance goal
18:45to put it to bed
18:46and beyond doubt.
18:47Cast their horizons
18:49towards 2026.
18:51Crempeau gives it a ride.
18:53Sends it forward
18:54over the head.
18:56A promise, David.
18:58Segovia can't control that.
19:02Nicola losing out.
19:03David yanked from behind.
19:04Referee waves play on.
19:06And Venezuela reclaim it.
19:08They could use a good spell
19:09right about now.
19:11Milani.
19:12I think they're best
19:18when they're playing
19:18at a quicker tempo,
19:19Steve.
19:22Canada just really
19:23haven't been able
19:24to get a hold of the ball
19:25the way they did
19:25in the first half
19:26where they controlled
19:27the game.
19:27That's a good tackle
19:28from Schaffelberg
19:30and then promised
19:30David can't beat
19:31his man to the ball.
19:32Maybe they're going
19:32to pick up the second
19:33ball here, Schwanier.
19:35And another turnover
19:36for Canada.
19:37A little more bite
19:37to the game.
19:38Schwanier wins it back.
19:40Plenty of room
19:41to operate.
19:42Schwanier, this one,
19:43takes the deflection.
19:44I'll tell you what,
19:45Ferenas had to keep
19:47his concentration.
19:50His predecessor
19:51victimized by
19:52that deflection
19:53in the first half.
19:54Not so this time around.
20:00I don't want
20:00to do back there
20:01for
20:02I don't want
20:03to do back there
20:04for
20:05the 27-year-old
20:06now on his
20:06his 43rd time
20:08playing his
20:09football
20:10with
20:10Michael Dorados
20:11in Colombia.
20:14Segovia.
20:24Perina.
20:28Short,
20:29intricate passing
20:30between he
20:31and Segovia
20:31just trying
20:32to dislodge
20:33this Canadian
20:34midfield.
20:34The short,
20:35short,
20:35wide switch
20:36just bounces
20:37over the
20:38outstretched foot
20:39of Adrian Cova.
20:45Players
20:46from Venezuela
20:47in all corners
20:48of the world.
20:49You think
20:49of Cova,
20:50Bulgaria,
20:51Brazil,
20:51Ecuador,
20:53Portugal,
20:54Belgium,
20:55and of course
20:56many in
20:57Major League Soccer.
20:58they threw
21:05from Segovia
21:05well closed
21:06down
21:06and Lorraine
21:07with a little bit
21:08of a bite.
21:08He's just signaling
21:09in Chaffinburg.
21:09Come on,
21:10give me an
21:10overlapping run.
21:11That means he can
21:11drive inside now.
21:12And here comes
21:13Lorraine,
21:13and here come
21:14Canada
21:14looking to take
21:15another bite
21:15out of Venezuela.
21:19It's still on
21:20now.
21:21It's time for
21:21Saliba.
21:22Chouiniere
21:24changes in the
21:26center of the
21:26park.
21:26Will it have
21:27the desired
21:27effect?
21:30Osorio
21:31who's drifted
21:33out wide
21:33to the right.
21:33Saliba
21:34hits it
21:35first time.
21:36It's better
21:36movement from
21:37Canada
21:37who tried
21:38to liven
21:39up.
21:39And yet
21:47another man
21:48down.
21:53Good times

22:17night in
22:18Houston.
22:19This day
22:20may be cut
22:20short in
22:21similar vein.
22:23That's a
22:24positive
22:24moment.
22:35So temporarily
22:36Venezuela
22:36down to
22:37nine.
22:38confirmation
22:39of the

22:46one of those
22:47holdovers
22:47from the
22:48World Cup
22:48qualification
22:49campaign.
22:50Hernandez
22:50coming on
22:51for his
22:5236th cap.
22:56Long time
22:56serving
22:57since
22:582022
22:592022
22:59for Atlanta
23:01United.
23:02So there's confirmation of the changes.
23:17Changes at the back and wholesale changes tonight.
23:20they start to come to life they brought the game to life a little bit last little push here for Venezuela to try to get something from this game they have the bigger crowd support and hear the cheering and they start to come to life.
23:38They brought the game to life a little bit last little push here for Venezuela to try to get something from this game they have the bigger crowd support and hear the cheering and they start to come to life they brought the game to life a little bit with some intensity so now can they find a way to get a goal through Segovia still at the heart of that he's still battling away as we've mentioned in his home stadium where he plays for Inter Miami.
24:00Perhaps just one eye in the domestic scene in the playoffs as Leo Messi are in the thick of the fights as we begin to the Eastern semifinals Cincinnati.
24:15Indeed he's tasty man he's been through many MLS wars himself Jesse Marsh now his 27th game in charge hunting for victory number 12 it's taking the reins in May of 2024 first things first however
24:30Canada had to deal with his free kick sent in by Chavez and the header one once again proving to be problematic but well taken you'd have to say by Jesus Ramirez.
24:40I think coach is nearly playing with a full deck in terms of substitutions space for Segovia plays early it's on now premise David tucks it away easy as you like and David with his third goal for his country and the Canadian sub may make it game set.
25:09Set and match 2-0 to Canada.
25:15It was a great run you're gonna see from Segovia here from deep.
25:19He recognizes that the back lines a little bit high he beats the offside trap and then has the awareness to play the ball look at his starting position right now he sees with the Venezuelan defenses and everybody's stepping in Cova steps in so he makes that running behind so much time and space but that ball is a beauty.
25:36Just puts it into the path of promised David first touch able to settle and then the big man 24 years old is not gonna miss from there had so much time to think about it takes the ball across his feet and then rolls into the corner.
25:50A great finish from David and talk about seizing your opportunity.
25:54A little shady started up front Jonathan David alongside him promised David coming off the bench Kyle Lahren have gone back and he gets a chance here in the second half and adds another goal to his talent.
26:06Just minutes after coming on as a sub just his eighth appearance he's been a great form domestic club play scoring a half a dozen in 17 appearances in the Jupiter league after winning the league title.
26:20Back in June to 2024 25 so man he's got the confidence good hold up play from him.
26:27Brings an extra dimension you can just hear the social media you can hear the conversation should we see more promise David and the struggles for Tani Oluwoshe continue in front of goal.
26:38That's how you change the conversation right there.
26:43Perhaps something to think about here over the winter for Jesse Marsh.
26:47Look international soccer is truly next man up and if you're not scoring at the at the especially at the striker position where if you have competition for places ideally that's what you want as a coach and you want people pushing each other and you roll with the hot head.
27:00So the following Oluwoshe is getting chances and not scoring doesn't matter that he's playing in La Liga and playing for Villarreal.
27:08It's a bad giveaway there from Farias.
27:09And opens up now on the turn Saliba has the support lovely skill from Schwan here excellent control.
27:15And now it's about seeing it out.
27:18Perhaps the clean sheet which has been a staple of Canada under Jesse Marsh.
27:23Or Sonia.
27:27Sigur the two man game doesn't quite come off but possession kept on.
27:31Here comes Lorea.
27:36A hunting for a third which would surely kill off the opposition and any flicker of a comeback.
27:44Something we've seen time and time again a recurring theme is the physical element or as they would say the dark arts.
27:52It's again revealing themselves.
28:01To Lorea.
28:02Is he the undroppable fullback?
28:06But a permanent fixture since the injury that Alphonso Davies earlier.
28:12Completely different player however.
28:14Brings a different dimension.
28:15Five minutes to go.
28:16This is the last chance here for Venezuela to get anything out of this.
28:24But I think generally over the course of the game Canada deserves a team with a two goal advantage.
28:30And they've had the deeper bench.
28:32You can see their subs that have come off the bench have had more of an impact.
28:36And it's nicer when you can bring players like Schaffelberg on and Promise David.
28:41So you'll see another yellow card from Rubiel Vasquez.
28:46Yes.
28:47Yes, yes, yes.
28:48Okay.
28:49Yeah.
28:50лемs.
28:51Yeah.
28:52Chavez, who came out as a second-ass substitute.
28:54Yeah.
28:55Yeah.
28:56Jaren Martinez in the books.
28:57Obviously Mario is a second-ass substitute.
28:58There is no one in the books.
28:59I don't know what happened.
29:00The 87th and the first-person.
29:01And the 23rd, for 23rd, Jose Hernandez.
29:05Hernandez going in that is Chavez
29:21Canada now one last twist perhaps the head up from Saliba just drills it
29:25straight into Teo Quintero now Segovia picks up the counter-attack is on for
29:30La Vida Tinto and they make something out of it something to put 2025 to bed in
29:36positive fashion not on Richie Larea's watch brilliantly done ferocious ball
29:43winner is the Canada fullback
29:48two minutes plus edit on time
29:53you like that result
29:56perhaps not so much the performance yeah but a win is the win as they say
30:00performance not their best but I think given the circumstances this this would
30:05be a win they'll like to take Canada really it is about now there's a big
30:10break between this international window here in November
