Toronto FC defender Richard Chukwu, still only 18, earned his first start in his second appearance for Canada, while coach Jesse Marsch also handed national team debuts to Owen Goodman, Justin Smith and Luca Petrasso. "These are two matches now, against Chile and against Peru, where we walk away feeling like we should score multiple goals, right?
