After a lackluster show against Mexico last month, Canada is hoping to get back to winning ways as they host Panama in an international friendly in Toronto on Tuesday.
Canada have won only two of their last five matches and were held to a goalless draw by Mexico in their last international outing.
Rivals Panama are also struggling for form. They went down 0-2 to the US on Saturday for their second straight defeat in internationals.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
