Canada secured their first ever Copa America victory and their first win under head coach Jesse Marsch by defeating Peru 1-0 on Tuesday evening at Children's Mercy Park.
Lille's Jonathan David netted the 74th-minute winner after Peru were reduced to 10 men in the 59th minute when Miguel Araujo was red-carded following Video Review.
Peru nearly equalized in second-half stoppage time, but goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau robbed Paolo Guerrero's dipping free kick and finished with four saves to secure Canada's first clean sheet against a CONMEBOL opponent since 2001.
