""We're physical, we play hard, but we're not a dirty team," said Marsch, who said he disagreed with Buchanan's dismissal. "I'm not worried about developing a reputation, but certainly cards like that can change momentum in tournaments.""
""Óskarsson took advantage of a bad pass from Canadian center-back Kamal Miller before moving in alone and beating goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair in the ninth minute for a 1-0 lead.""
""Canada got one back in the 67th minute when David coolly buried a penalty after Buchanan was fouled by Ellertsson. The striker for Italian giants Juventus added his second of the afternoon from the spot in the 76th when substitute Daniel Jebbison was also taken down in the area before Buchanan was sent off.""
