South Africa again in attacking mode but Canada are not an easy side to defeat. Both teams are in their best attack and defense. A different strategy can only be a game changer in this goalless (so far) game.
2nd quarter ends with quarter 1 results. Both the teams are still goalless. Although, South Africa are in attacking mode but have failed to convert their attack. Same goes for Canada as they have too missed chances to score.
2nd quarter began with high hopes but Canada missed it. Both the teams will look for improvement in their games. South Africa will be more alert and attentive as have already they wasted two penalties.

1st Quarter ends. Despite having the opportunity to score twice, South Africa failed to score as a brilliant drag flick as a deflection from Canada's Goal Keeper Carter touch bar and went above the crossbar.
