East Side Stand Up

Team Canada takes out Panama 1-0 to move atop of Group C. It was a critical result for the team who in a must-win were mentally prepared and tough against a tricky opponent. Kevin McKenna and Atiba Hutchinson stood apart as the class of the team and their presence was paramount in the result as McKenna dominated Blas Perez in the 18-yard box and Hutchinson imposed himself in the midfield. With the win, Canada are in a position where they just need to get a point in the away fixture to put them one step closer to advancing to the Hex. Stephen Hart will need to get the right approach in a hostile environment Tuesday night for that to happen.
