In the last round, although they scored first, the team's performance lacked initiative afterwards and could only focus on maintaining the lead until the final whistle. Goalkeeper St. Clair did not make a single save throughout the match and conceded a goal in stoppage time, ultimately being held to a draw by the opponent.
In the previous round, despite dominating possession, they created very few threatening attacks. Goalkeeper Mario Gonzalez made only one save and conceded a goal in each half, resulting in a two-goal defeat.
Canada currently sits at the top of the group with 1 win and 1 draw in the group stage. A victory in this match would secure them first place, and with their opponent's limited strength, Canada has a clear opportunity. El Salvador must win to have any chance of advancing, but their lack of attacking firepower makes them unlikely to overcome strong opposition. Same as above.
