Jacob Shaffelburg’s strike gave the lead to Canada on Friday against Venezuela in a Copa America 2024 quarterfinal at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
During his celebration, the winger held up his teammate Tajon Buchanan’s No. 17 jersey after the midfielder missed the quarterfinal clash due to an injury.
Buchanan underwent surgery on a fractured tibia on Wednesday after he had injured it during a training session.
Buchanan was involved in all of Canada’s group stage matches. At half time against Venezuela, the Les Rogues led 1-0.
