Canada got its first win in four matches under Jesse Marsch, the American hired as coach last month, and beat a South American team for the first time since a 2-0 victory over Colombia in the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup final. It was also Canada's first-ever victory in a Copa America match. "This win means a lot. It means that we have everything to fight for in the last game to make it out of the group stage," said David. "It was a difficult game but we managed to get the three points."
Canada , in its first Copa America, rebounded from an opening 2-0 loss to defending champion Argentina, and Peru began with a 0-0 draw against Chile. The Canadians close Group A on Saturday against Chile at Orlando, Florida, the same day Peru faces Argentina at Miami Gardens, Florida. The top two teams from Group A advance to the quarterfinals.
