Not many expected Canada to achieve qualification to the quarter-finals of Copa America with the likes of Argentina, Chile and Peru in Group A, especially after their 2-0 defeat to the current champions on matchday one... Crepeau was at the center of it all, as he started and played all three matches while recording four saves twice in the draw vs Chile and in the narrow victory over Peru.
Even though Jacob Shaffelburg has been included in the starting lineup just once, he's provided a huge spark for Canada to supply excellent service for the likes of Jonathan David and Cyle Larin... he was the one that set up David's 74th-minute strike vs Peru that helped them seal passage to the quarter-finals.
It's easy to think of attackers for the most exciting or impactful players at a tournament, but don't forget the defensive midfielders that often get tasked with doing the dirty work...
