Canucks breeze their way to a third straight win in a double-digit destruction of Senegal.
Canada had the lead within two minutes, after Perry Ferreira brought down Fabian Currie's free kick, and scored his first of the game. He made it two in the 18th minute, and scored his hat trick in the 43rd with a stunning shot from well outside the 18-yard box. By that time, Carlos Eldridge had gotten one himself, and Fabian Currie beat Kristopher Barber - who really should have done better - from a very tight angle. Eldridge scored again just before half-time, after Ferreira found him unmarked. Fabian Currie made it 7-0 after 57 minutes, and Ferreira scored his fourth soon after. Currie sealed a hat trick of his own with ten minutes to go, but Eldridge finished with just two after being denied first by the post, and then twice by Barber. With the ninety minutes almost up, Perry Ferreira received the ball in the area, and was fouled by Craig Birchall. Not only was the Senegalese defender given a straight red card, but Canada had a penalty. Shad Marcus put the icing on the cake by successfully converting his spot-kick to make the final score 10-0.
A satisfactory performance if we remember how bad the team we were playing really is. Senegal fielded a strange 2-3-3-2 formation, while Canada went with the exact same 3-3-1-3 line-up that played against South Africa. Carlos Eldridge again didn't seem as good as he has often proven to be, and seeing substitute striker Terrance Bryson fail to score for the third straight game is worrying. Still, Ferreira shone yet again, and Currie had his best game so far. Naturally, there were no poor performances in midfield and at the back, but no stand-outs either. I'll give the man of the match award in this game to Fabian Currie.
