Canada had to overcome 10-men Peru and an assistant referee collapsing in the first half of Tuesday's game in Kansas City to win for the first time in the Copa America. His goal was also his 27th for Canada and the end of a 391-minute scoreless streak for the national team. Canada were bottom of the group coming into Tuesday's game after losing their opening match to Lionel Messi and Co. in Atlanta, Georgia. The Reds will hope for a precious win against Chile on Saturday in Orlando, Florida, to secure qualification. Peru will also play that day against Argentina to booster its hopes to make it to the Copa America's knockout stages.
