Canada (1-1-1) vs. Uruguay (3-0-0)
Canada comes into this match with an even record – one win, one draw and one loss – and has only produced moderate offensive results over their last five games, scoring 0.21 average goals per contest on average. Canada has two primary goal-scoring threats – Jonathan David has already scored one goal at this tournament while Jacob Shaffelburg contributed one goal and an assist. David has shown incredible foul drawing skill throughout this tournament and had 10 foul calls recorded against his name; yet against Uruguay’s solid defense his offensive effort remains challenging. Shaffelburg’s efficiency in front of goal, having three shots on target from five attempts, indicates his ability to capitalise on any defensive miscues from Uruguay. If Canada wishes to break through their defensive wall effectively they must increase scoring intensity.
Uruguay has shown impressive offensive prowess throughout this tournament, scoring an average of 2.6 goals in their five most recent matches and led by Darwin Nunez’s two goals and 20 shots taken (five on target!). They were led by Captain Diego Pereira as they averaged an impressive average of 2.6 goals per match! Maximiliano Araujo led all Uruguayan forwards this year and made an invaluable contribution, scoring two goals and providing one assist while supporting offensive plays from behind – his presence is often felt when entering play from defense. Federico Valverde also contributed one goal with 12 shots taken, 3 being on target. Uruguay will present Canada with an exceptional challenge when they step on to the field given their varied attacking options and ability to generate goals from multiple positions – their high scoring rate makes Uruguay ideal for exploiting any weaknesses in Canada’s defense while scoring multiple times from various positions on the pitch.
Maxime Crépeau GK vs. Sergio Rochet GK
Maxime Crepeau has been Canada’s unflappable post in this tournament, starting all five matches and recording two clean sheets and 17 saves in total. His shot-stopping capabilities were on full display, recording two clean sheets and 17 saves while permitting five goals against him against high caliber attacks such as Uruguay’s prolific attack with its high volume and accuracy of shots taken against him; Canada must provide adequate support so he doesn’t become overwhelmed.
Sergio Rochet has been equally impressive for Uruguay, starting all five matches and keeping three clean sheets with 11 saves while conceding just two goals – evidence of his effectiveness between the posts. Uruguay’s strong defensive setup certainly contributed to Rochet’s solid performance; his command of the penalty area could prove vital in countering Canada’s offensive efforts while remaining secure at their backline positions. He served as reliable last line defense while providing offensive pressure from outfield players while remaining secure at their backline position.
