Jonathan David and Tajon Buchanan scored three minutes in the second half for three minutes, as Canada dropped the short-hand El Salvador 2–0, topping the ConcacAF Gold Cup Group B play in Houston on Tuesday.
Canada (2–0-1, 7 digits) proceeds to a knockout round, while Al Salvador (0–2-1, 1 point), in which two players were evicted in the first half, returns home.
With the help of Matthew Chioniyar, David received Canada on board in the 53rd minute, gave a right-leg shot from the left to the bottom right corner.
Buchanan padded the Canada lead in the 56th minute, scoring a goal to the bottom left corner with a left leg shot from the center of the box. Nico Sigur was credited with assistance.
Al Salvador lost his first player in the 35th minute, when Santos Oritz was shown his second yellow card. Then in the ninth minute of the first half stoppage time, Jero Henriques received a red card for violent conduct.
Canada controlled the play with 80.3 percent occupation and improved the Lalvador in shots at Gol (4–0), shot efforts (14–2) and corner kick (13–1). The goalkeeper Maxim Crepue did not need to save for Canada, while the Mario Gonzalaz of Al Salvador made two savings in an attempt to lose.
