In a new FIFA break, Jonathan Osorio was called up by Jesse Marsch to represent Canada in two friendly matches against the United States and Mexico.

While he was a substitute in the game against the United States, where he came on in the second half for valuable minutes, he started against Mexico and played the full 90 minutes, showing that he remains highly competitive at 32 years of age.

Jonathan Osorio's Stats Against Mexico

The Toronto FC player continues to be a crucial figure on the field. He is regarded as a competitive leader by several coaches and is considered the heart of the team, both on and off the pitch. In this challenging game against Mexico, Osorio played the entire match, with 25 touches of the ball. Despite Mexico controlling much of the game, Canada remained competitive.

Osorio completed 75% of his passes, attempting 16 passes in total. He also tried two long passes, completing only one while losing possession on the other. His performance in ground duels was positive, winning 50% of the four he contested, and he won one of the two aerial duels he faced. However, playing in midfield can be risky, and Osorio had to be precise with his passes and ball control. He lost possession eight times, which is something he will need to improve.

The match ended 0-0 with Mexico being the more offensive team, taking ten shots compared to Canada's five. This reflected Mexico's strong desire to win, while Canada struggled to contain the Mexican side, who were in a good form.

Osorio will now return to Toronto FC for the critical final stretch of the season, facing tough opponents such as Austin FC and Columbus Crew, as well as the Canadian Championship final against Vancouver FC. It will be a busy month for Toronto FC, and they will need their captain to be at his best.
