Canada's men's soccer team is off to a disappointing start in 2012,
losing 3-1 to Armenia in a friendly in Limassol, Cyprus, on Wednesday.
Marcos Pizzelli scored two goals for Armenia, which overcame an early
1-0 deficit to hand Canada a loss in its first international match
of the year. Aras Ozbiliz added a goal on a penalty kick in the 91st
minute. Kevin McKenna, of Calgary, gave Canada a 1-0 lead in the fifth
minute, heading in a corner kick from Julian de Guzman. Canada carried
the play for the first 15 minutes, before Armenia exploited some shoddy
defensive play and ball control by the Canadians and never looked back.
