Canada 7-0 South Africa: 2009 Senior ConfedCup

It's the Perry Ferreira show: center forward scores five, Eldridge adds two, and Angel Vang keeps clean sheet in another easy game for Canada
As expected, Canada were all over their opponents from the start. Against a strange and inefficient formation, the Canucks created quite a few chances, but Carlos Eldridge and Perry Ferreira in particular found themselves being thwarted by goalkeeper Hanile Thokozani. The South Africans held firm for just over half an hour, until Ferreira finally broke the deadlock when he scored on his own rebound after seeing Thokozani save his first shot. However, they could not find a second, and headed into the break leading by only one.
They seemed to return revitalised, as Ferreira scored again just a couple minutes in, after controlling Eldridge's cross from the right, and slotting past Thokozani. He only had to wait three more minutes to score his hat trick, when Thokozani deflected Fabian Currie's shot to Ferreira, who easily shot into the open net to make it 3-0 after 54 minutes. In the 58th minute, he scored again on a breakaway, and with just about an hour gone, Eldridge got in on the fun with a low strike from just outside the box. By now, the Canadians were scoring goals for fun whilst Thokozani was a shadow of what he had been in the first half. Ferreira scored his fifth in the 68th minute, and Eldridge made it seven in the 72nd. However, that was the last goal Canada scored, and so 7-0 was the final score. Blake Thornton received the game's only yellow card in the first half.
Canada were in complete control, with 72% posession and an 18-2 lead on SC's. They should have scored more against an awful formation (1-3-1-2-1-2: 3 stikers, two attaking midfielders on the wings, once central defender, three defensive midfielders/defenders, and a lone sweeper). Canada again went with a 3-3-1-3 with the same starters except in defence. Valère Kendall playing in central defence instead of Cyrille McCullough, who moved to the right, and Germain Rangel started on the left instead of Isidore Paige, who didn't even feature on the teamsheet.
The man of the match award is pretty straightforward. The defenders and midfielders had little to do, Currie was unimpressive in this game, and Eldridge was average. In the end, all you need to look at is who scored most of the goals: and Perry Ferreira was easily the best player on the pitch today.
