Canada secured a 2-0 victory over Venezuela in an International Friendly on 19 November, demonstrating clinical finishing despite generating less expected goals than their hosts. Venezuela dominated the shot count with 10 attempts to Canada's 8, accumulating 1.27 xG, yet managed only 3 shots on target and failed to convert their chances. Canada's 4-4-2 formation proved more efficient in transition, with Ismael Kone among the goalscorers as the visitors registered 4 shots on target from 0.99 xG. Venezuela's 4-3-3 setup created opportunities but lacked the precision to capitalise, whilst Canada's goalkeeper made a 50 per cent save rate from the limited chances afforded. The performance highlighted the difference between volume and quality; Venezuela's territorial advantage yielded little reward against a composed Canadian side that converted their limited openings. Canada's efficiency in this friendly suggests improved tactical discipline ahead of upcoming competitive fixtures.
