The top two teams in the group move on to the next round, and Canada would likely need at least a win and a tie to advance. Midfielder Stephen Eustaquio also sat out against Japan, as he was not 100% and Herdman made the decision to rest his talented midfielder. Eustaquio is playing extremely well for his club team FC Porto in Portugal and is likely better served with rest leading into the tournament.
