MAUER, Austria -- The Canadian mens soccer team is still looking for an elusive
win, but for now a pair of draws against European opponents is progress enough
for head coach Benito Floro.
Ashley Williams Shirt . Canada played to its
second-straight 1-1 draw Tuesday, coming from behind to tie Moldova in a
friendly. Canada also tied Bulgaria 1-1 in a friendly last week. Tuesdays result
means Canadas 16-game winless streak that dates back to October 2012 remains
intact as the team still searches for its first win in seven games under Floros
leadership. Still, Floro said he was pleased with aspects of Canadas game. "I am
happy because the team is progressing, and the players are happy because they
can see the progress," he said. "For us it isnt important to be looking at the
results right now, that will take time." Things got off to poor start for Canada
when Moldovas Eugeniu Sidorenco, left unmarked in the penalty area, nodded the
ball past Canadian goalie Milan Borjan in the seventh minute. The goal came from
what was seemingly a non-threatening position for Moldova, but the Canadian
pairing of Adam Straith and Andre Hainault in central defence allowed Sidorenco
too much space in front of the goal. With Canada having only scored one goal in
the last 14 months, it looked early on as if it could be a long evening in the
Austrian rain for Floros side. But striker Tosaint Ricketts found himself in the
right place at the right time to tie the game just two minutes later. Pedro
Pacheco floated a corner to the back post where Hainault rose the highest to nod
it back in front of the goal to Ricketts, who kicked it home from five yards
out. "It always feels great to score for your country," Ricketts said. "Floro
has been driving home tactical set-pieces and corners and we executed well." The
game then settled and it wasnt until Atiba Hutchinson hit the crossbar late in
the first half that either team came close to scoring again. Canadian right-back
Nik Ledgerwood curled a bending free kick towards the back post where Hutchinson
used his thigh to nudge a shot toward the goal, but it hit the top of the bar.
Following the halftime break it was Canada who asserted the control of the game,
stringing together some tidy possession without ever really threatening to
penetrate the well-organized Moldovan defence. The Moldovans produced the best
two chances of the second half on the counter-attack. Alexandru Antoniuc forced
a big save from Borjan with a firm drive midway through the second half, before
Eugeniu Cebotaru fired a dangerous shot just wide of the left post from 22
yards. Despite dominating possession throughout the final stage of the game,
Canada was unable to carve out a clear-cut opportunity. Addressing Canadas
long-standing offensive woes, Floro said he is on the hunt for fresh attacking
talent. "We have to find a away to keep creating more chances and we will
continue looking for another striker who can come in and help Ricketts and
Simeon Jackson," Floro said. Canada is ranked 110th in the world to Moldovas
99th. Canada had been looking to notch its first win since a 3-0 win over Cuba
towards the end of its futile World Cup Qualifying campaign in October 2012. The
Canadian team will now disband for the summer ahead of its return to home turf
for Septembers friendly against Jamaica at BMO Field in Toronto.
