Samuel Piette's emotional farewell as Canada beats Peru in Montreal

Canadian midfielder Samuel Piette received an emotional tribute in what may have been his final appearance for the national team, captaining the side in a 2-0 victory over Peru in Montreal on Saturday. Piette, earning his 70th cap, delivered a pre-match speech and entered the game in the 66th minute to a standing ovation, with coach Jesse Marsch orchestrating a special substitution to ensure the veteran was celebrated properly. The 31-year-old Quebec native expressed gratitude for the warm reception from Montreal fans. Canada's win, sealed by a Jacob Shaffelburg brace, was its first in Montreal since 2017. Goalkeeper Owen Goodman earned a clean sheet in his debut, and Canada will face the United States on Tuesday.
