Canada 2-2 Guadeloupe: Off-the-field struggles bleed onto the pitch in Gold Cup opener as John Herdman’s side fail to beat minnows hours after report of potential bankruptcy
An already troubling day for Canada got even worse as they tied Guadeloupe 2-2 in their Gold Cup opener.
FIFA’s 47th-ranked team were just minutes away from victory but a Jacen Russell-Rowe own goal in the 93rd minute gave Guadeloupe a shock draw.
The underdogs had taken the lead in the 23rd minute through Thierry Ambrose before Canada regained control through a Lucas Cavallini goal and a Meddy Lina own goal in the 70th minute.
The win comes after a report from TSN that the Canadian soccer federation could file for bankruptcy and be forced to bypass the September and October international windows.
