They beat Uganda 2-1 in Group K, with France up next on Saturday
Louis Page and Jake Evans could be involved in England's game vs. Haiti on Friday

The 17-year-old, who has featured for our Under-21s side this season, started the contest in Qatar, which saw Uganda take the lead 25 minutes in, courtesy of James Bogere's goal.

France await on Saturday.

That's how it stayed until the 88th minute, when Elijah Roche equalised, before a last-gasp penalty was converted by Marius Marius Aiyenero in the eighth minute of stoppage time to complete the Canada comeback and secure three points.

Now sitting second in the standings, Les Rouges' second Group K fixture is against France, who also won their opening match, beating Chile 2-0. It's a 1:30pm kick-off on Saturday.

There's further Foxes involvement elsewhere in the tournament tomorrow, with Louis Page and Jake Evans in line to feature for England against Haiti on Friday, a 12:30pm kick-off.

All times GMT.
