Les Rouges emerged the stronger of the two sides and took an early lead on Jacob Shaffelburg’s close-range finish. The Nashville SC winger was a constant menace on the left side, creating several chances his teammates failed to convert and add to their lead.
Canada’s poor finishing almost haunted them in the 64th minute after Salomón Rondón – Venezuela’s all-time leading scorer – caught Crépeau way off his line and chipped in the equalizer from midfield.
A game-winner never came in regulation time, forcing a dramatic PK shootout that Canada passed with flying colors to set up Tuesday’s semifinal against Lionel Messi and Argentina at MetLife Stadium.
