Alphonso Davies watched on from the sidelines in his hometown after linking up with Jesse Marsch's squad, though he did not play any part and remains doubtful for their Group B opener against Bosnia-Herzegovina due to a hamstring issue. 

Both teams managed just one shot on target apiece in a quiet first half, though Uzbekistan captain Eldor Shomurodov had the best chances to open the scoring. 

Shomurodov raced clear in the seventh minute but miscued when attempting to lob Maxime Crepeau, missing wide to the left of the goal, while another clear opening saw him draw a full-stretch save from the Canada goalkeeper. 

But Canada took charge after making a host of half-time changes, going ahead just before the hour when Osorio's strike beat Abduvokhid Ne'matov for power, after fellow substitute Tani Oluwaseyi drove to the edge of the area. 

Promise David, making his return from injury, had a powerful near-post finish chalked off for offside, while Oluwaseyi saw an effort smothered by Abduvokhid Ne'matov.

Canada did get its clinching goal one minute into stoppage time, with Oluwaseyi's well-timed pass releasing Nelson to the outside, allowing the Austin FC man to open up his body and roll his finish into the far corner.
