Gold Cup | Guzmán assist helps Costa Rica draw Canada; Powell and Mattocks help Jamaica hold Mexico scoreless

Portland Timbers Midfielder David Guzmán snagged an assist on a beautiful set piece corner kick, headed in by a leaping Francisco Calvo in Costa Rica’s 1-1 draw with Canada during Tuesday night’s match in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

With a win, either team could have secured firm control of Group A, but instead, the two leaders split the points with Canada now sitting in first thanks to a larger tally of goals scored thus far.

Costa Rica 4 2 1 0 1 2 1 +1
Honduras 1 2 0 1 1 0 1 -1
French Guiana 1 2 0 1 1 2 4 -2

Guzmán played a solid 61 minutes and nearly put the Ticos ahead in first-half stoppage time, but his one-timer at the top of the 18’ was deflected away by Canadian goalkeeper Milan Borjan.
