Richie Laryea leads a mix of veterans and young players in a developmental friendly to assess World Cup roster candidates and give experience to uncapped Canadians.

  • On Saturday, Toronto FC fullback Richie Laryea will captain a developmental Canada side against Guatemala in Los Angeles, leading a blend of veterans and youth at BMO Stadium.

  • Canada controlled much of the match, recording 57 per cent possession, outshot Guatemala 12, and Marsch substituted Malik Henry, Matteo de Brienne, Luka Gavran in the final 10 minutes.
  • The Canada team gained momentum after its first match since Nov. 18, with coach Jesse Marsch calling it an earned win and a 'pretty complete performance' from many new players.
