Zapata, however, opened the scoring with only a couple minutes left in the first half and the Canadians were forced to launch an all- : out offensive, which resulted in the second El Salvador goal. “On the first goal, one of our fullbacks, instead of d ball out of the play, | Ul he had Zapata on his back and tried to control it,” Krautzun said. “Instead he fumbled the ball and Zapata just stole it and hit it in. He should never be able do that. — MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE oO “But when we tried to put | the pressure on we made another, mistake and that one was by our goalkeeper. . But by then it was too late. ' Even though: we had a few chances in the dying minutes, we couldn't put the ball into the net.” Zapata made it 2-0 for El Salvador in the second half before Canada finally got on the scoreboard with about two minutes left to play on a goal by Brian ‘Budd, who plays for Vancouver hitecaps ‘of the North American Soccer League. But by that time it was too late, although the Canadians had another good scoring opportunity before the game ended. Krautzun said he was dis- appointed with the opening- ame loss but he feels the anadian team can come back. “There are four games to Bo but our aim was not to ase today,” hesald. “So I'm disappointed with the defeat, especially because we were not outplayed but just gave it away. “In a tournament like this, the first match is very ‘important and you should not lose it. I would have be satisfied with a draw but I cannot be satisfied with the loss.
