David at the double as Canada come back from two goals down to draw with Iceland

[p]With places in the World Cup squad up for grabs, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/miller-kamal/SpKtC9ac/"]Kamal Miller[/a] did himself no favours and looked uncomfortable dealing with a bouncing ball while under pressure in the ninth minute.[/p][p][b]He left his back pass woefully short, and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/oskarsson-orri-steinn/K2gCwDJE/"]Orri Oskarsson[/a] scampered clear before calmly tucking the ball past Dayne St. Clair at the near post. [/b][/p][p]Unsurprisingly, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/david-jonathan/CSvtXj2E/"]Jonathan David[/a] proved to be [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/canadas-joao/GbIZ8g5j/"]Canada[/a]’s most lively attacking threat in the early stages, with the Juventus man creating a great chance for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/saliba-nathan/ALAGXH2B/"]Nathan Saliba[/a], but the Anderlecht midfielder lacked conviction in his finish, as he curled the ball into the arms of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/olafsson-elias/AXTCchy8/"]Elias Rafn Olafsson[/a].[/p][p]That was a sorely missed opportunity to reverse the momentum of the first half, as the visitors struck again minutes later.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ellertsson-mikael-egill/4EDOAeYC/"]Mikael Egill Ellertsson[/a] played the crucial pass as he released Oskarsson through on goal, and clearly brimming with confidence after the opener, he clinically dispatched the ball high into the net beyond the helpless St. Clair.[/b][/p][image alt="Key match stats" id="bd6e486a-0994-4ad9-bee3-4615f90422a2" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="7bd7374e-0568-483a-8040-2a49c9c77225" original-width="1200" original-height="1200" /][p]Despite his side’s inability to make inroads into the two-goal deficit before half-time, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/marschall-filip/AN1CgoGe/"]Marsch[/a] opted against making any changes during the interval.[/p][p]He was almost vindicated just before the hour mark, after [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ahmed-ali/zP3uNOEs/"]Ali Ahmed[/a] picked out David, who was denied by an excellent stop from Olafsson. [/p][p][b]But just when it looked like the game might be slipping away, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/canada/x4toKORL/"]Canada[/a] forged a way back in, when Ellertsson was penalised for felling [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/buchanan-tajon/G62SXlFI/"]Tajon Buchanan[/a] in the area, and David composed himself to end his four-game scoring drought for Canada from the spot.[/b][/p][p][b]Seven minutes later, substitute [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jebbinson-daniel/0jTEU500/"]Daniel Jebbison[/a] was felled after weaving his way into the area, and David equalised with a carbon copy of his first penalty.[/b][/p][embed guid="9f501127-f5e1-48dd-98b8-0783d048d30b" url="https://x.com/CANMNT_Official/status/2037971390914015466" social-type="twitter" /][p]With the wind in their sails, the hosts looked set to lay siege to the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/iceland/6TsAIrGN/"]Iceland[/a] goal in the final 10 minutes, but a moment of madness from Buchanan resulted in a red card as he was penalised for throwing an elbow at Ellertsson.[/p][p]Despite that unwelcome end, Canada will be hopeful of building momentum against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tunisia/QqZVYk95/"]Tunisia[/a] next week, whilst Iceland will hope to collect a win themselves against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/haiti/nk4v10Z1/"]Haiti[/a].[/p][p][b]Flashscore Man of the Match: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/david-jonathan/CSvtXj2E/"]Jonathan David[/a] (Canada)[/b][/p][image alt="Canada came back to draw 2-2" id="6f9ddb65-766c-4893-b7cb-73094ea6ed76" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="718351a9-8e11-42b1-b0f0-8e72b142a34a" original-width="1200" original-height="1200" /][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/canada-x4toKORL/iceland-6TsAIrGN/?mid=AicPgHHs"]Click here for more on the match.[/a][/b][/p]
