But it's a new-look Canada, which had won nine of 10 previous matches this year, under coach John Herdman. Mexico went ahead in first-half stoppage time on an Orbelin Pineda penalty. Prior to the opening goal, Canada had looked composed and well-organized despite Mexico dominating possession.

Then Rogelio Funes Mori's header went just wide of the Canadian goal in the 86th.
