2nd goal in 17th minute

BiH Results

1. 43% or less of the match will be played in Canada's zone.
Yes. Pretty good odds-making on this one. 42% was the final tally.

2. Canada will have more unassisted goals then assisted goals.
Yes. A tight BiH defensive formation made it difficult to get to goal without a touch from the defense.

3. There will be more yellow cards then red cards (both teams combined).
Yes. The referee was sane in this one. 3 yellows dispensed, no reds.

4. Parker will have a clean sheet.
Yes. Only two shots - one on target. But he did need to make that one save. :)

5. Canada will score 2 or more headed goals.
No. No headed goals. Only one aerial cross all game (O’Hara to Lavrynenko) and it was on a corner. Illustrates some of the difficulty the wingers had.

6. Canada will have more fouls then goals.
Yes. 4 fouls (4 different perpetrators), 2 goals.

7. Amado will have more shots off-target then on-target.
No. A-Bomb had 5 on target, 2 that missed. Opposing keeper played well.

8. Canada will have a play with 5 (or more) successive passes.
No. Longest play I noted was 3 (several of these). Not surprising given the tight field.

9. A Canadian defender (back-line player) will have a pass % of 50% or better.
Yes. Dehere was 9 for 17. The young lad had a pretty nice match.

10. A Canadian midfielder will have a pass % of 75% or better.
Yes. O'Hara was 6 for 8 for exactly 75%. Iginla was 2 for 2, but I think the 4 pass min (used in the other contest) applies.

Goal #2 - minute 39

Edit: miscalculated O'Hara's pass %. :S
