2024 Copa America: Peru Vs Canada, Lesploys Armed With Less Impressive Notes

Canada has the opportunity to surprise (Instagram/@canadasoccer).

JAKARTA - The second matchday of the 2024 Copa America Group A phase will bring together Peru vs Canada. The match will take place at Sporting Park, Kansas, on Wednesday, June 26, 2026, at 05.00 WIB.

In previous records, Peru had an unappreciative performance. From the meeting with Chile in the previous match, La Bicolor only recorded 35 percent possession of the ball.

Even so, they were able to survive solidly and extend their record without losing to six consecutive matches in all competitions. Because at the meeting with Chile it ended 0-0.

Peru is currently in six matches without defeat in all competitions. This record can be a spark of enthusiasm when meeting Canada.

The problem is, the duo Bryan Reyna and Luis Advincula are doubtful because of a minor injury. Inferiority in possession could happen again. If so, they must return to display a strong defense like when they met Chile.

For Canada, the absence of the two Peruvian players could be a gap to steal the lead. Moreover, they are motivated to get up after receiving minor results in the group's first match.

Facing Argentina in the opener, Losplos lost 0-2. Despite that, Canada has shown that they can put up a tough fight and have a chance to surprise Team Tango.

According to statistics, Canada managed to release up to seven shots into Emiliano Martinez's goal in just the first 45 minutes of the match. That number is the most compared to any team in terms of a shot against Argentina since November 2021.

Despite losing, Jesse Marsch has seen the progress of his squad in recent weeks. The meeting against Peru could be a moment to appear stronger and prove that Canada is also able to fight back.
