Colombia will face Canada in an international friendly at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Tuesday. Neither side has competitive fixtures left for the year, and both will play two more friendlies next month.
Colombia entered the match on a six‑game unbeaten run, having thrashed Mexico 4‑0 in a recent friendly. Jhon Lucumí opened the scoring in the first half, and Luis Díaz, Jefferson Lerma and Johan Carbonero added goals after the break, with James Rodríguez providing two assists.
Canada, by contrast, saw its own unbeaten streak of nine games snapped by a 1‑0 loss to Australia, marking the first time in six matches that the team failed to score.
The two nations have met only three times in all competitions, twice in friendlies. Colombia has won both of those encounters, including a 1‑0 victory in 2014. Canada’s recent defensive record shows under 2.5 goals in seven of its 11 games in 2025.
Colombia arrives on a three‑game winning streak, having netted 13 goals and remaining unbeaten in friendlies since 2019—a nine‑game run in such matches. This form gives them a clear edge, and they are expected to secure a comfortable win.
Canada, eager to rediscover its scoring touch after the goalless defeat to Australia, will rely on its unbeaten record in the last four U.S. fixtures, which includes two victories.
The match promises an entertaining encounter, pitting Colombia’s attacking firepower against Canada’s defensive resilience. With no competitive games remaining this year, the friendly offers both teams a chance to fine‑tune strategies and build momentum for future contests.
