(Reuters) - Canada came from behind to grab a 2-2 draw with Bahrain in a friendly match in Manama on Friday, giving players a final chance to impress coach John Herdman before he names his Qatar World Cup squad.
Canada, ranked 41st in the world, fielded a team of mostly Major League Soccer players against the 85th-ranked Bahrain and looked far off their best, needing an 81st minute goal from Lucas Cavallini to escape with a draw at Al-Khalifa Stadium.
But Mahdi Humaidan equalised for Bahrain seven minutes later and Abdulla Yusuf scored from the penalty spot after the break to put the hosts up 2-1. Centre back Doneil Henry picked up an injury during the warmup and was replaced in the starting lineup by Joel Waterman.
