Canada's Confidence is High
Tajon Buchanan led the charge for Canada in their previous match, scoring twice. Niko Sigur, Promise David, Tani Oluwaseyi, and Nathan Saliba also contributed to the impressive scoreline.

Curacao Looking for First Win
Curacao, currently ranked 90th in the FIFA rankings, will be looking to secure their first win of the tournament. In their match against El Salvador, they controlled 60% of the possession and had more shots on target, but ultimately couldn't find the back of the net. Keep an eye on former Columbus Crew goalkeeper Eloy Room and ex-FC Cincinnati forward Jürgen Locadia, who adds experience to the squad.
