Goalball: Canadian Male Team Secures Their First Victory

The North American team significantly defeated Venezuela 11-1 in Group B.

Sunday, November 19th, 2023.- After being defeated by the United States on Saturday, Team Canada regrouped, adjusted its pieces, and took to the field at the Centro de Deportes Paralímpicos determined to defeat its opponent. And that's exactly what they did. They achieved a resounding 11-1 victory over Venezuela in a match valid for Group B.

The Canadian male team bounced back strongly at Santiago 2023 after decisively defeating the Venezuelans, who could do nothing against the efficiency of the North Americans.

Before the 5-minute mark, Canada was already leading 7-0, giving a glimpse of what would come later. Venezuela's consolation goal was just a mirage that did not serve to reverse the overall result.

This Monday, Canada will face Argentina to determine the second position in the group, in a match scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Centro de Deportes Paralímpicos.
