A last-minute penalty scored by Lucas Cavallini helped Canada to a 2-1 win against Japan in their final World Cup preparation game at Al-Maktoum Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Head coach John Herdman opted for a few changes to the starting line-up following their lacklustre draw with Bahrain last Friday giving more players a chance to impress.Canada’s final test before their World Cup campaign begins didn’t start well. They were caught out within the first 10 minutes as Japan, ranked 24th in the world and who will also play in Qatar, took the lead.

As the game progressed, the Canadians grew into the match and exuded more confidence which eventually led to the equaliser. Coming out into the second half, Canada made multiple substitutions seeing Jonathan Osorio, Joel Waterman, Cavallini and others enter the game.
