El Salvador adds its first point in the 2015 Gold Cup by tying with Canada zero to zero. With the goalless draw, the team is tied on points with Costa Rica and Jamaica, who tied two goals in the first game of group B. El Salvador, which last beat Canada in 1997, now had a game in which for moments he seemed to dominate calmly, but he never knew how to define the goal options that were presented to him, to achieve those three desired points.
Irvin Herrera, who came on as a substitute for the injured Nelson Bonilla, created danger for the Canadian goal on three occasions during the first half; but the North American goalkeeper intervened in a good way to prevent the Cuscatleco goal. At 35′ Larín from Canada missed a clear shot for the Canadians, who after taking out Derby Carrillo, shot outside in an incredible way.
For the second half the game continued at the same pace, where the team dominated in sections, but without being able to achieve the few opportunities that were generated in these 45 minutes of play. Darwin Ceren, Pablo Punyed, Richard Mejivar and Arturo Álvarez were the Cuscatlecos who generated the greatest danger for the Canadians, but just like in the first half, they were unable to convert any of the scoring opportunities.
Canada also had a chance to open the scoring in the second half through Straith, but failed at the decisive moment. The match ended with a 0-0 tie, thus equaling in group B, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Canada and El Salvador, all with one point, but Ticos and Caribbeans with a better goal difference due to the two-way tie between both teams. .
The next date of group B will face El Salvador against Costa Rica and Jamaica against Canada. The savior must beat the Ticos to qualify for the quarterfinals.
