ANTALYA, Turkey — Andre Hainault’s second-half goal led Canada to a 1-0 exhibition men’s soccer win over Belarus on Tuesday.

Hainault scored the game’s lone goal in the 58th minute of a contest that saw the Canadians control a majority of the play.

Goalkeeper Milan Borjan won his second cap for Canada after debuting in a 1-0 loss to Greece in February.

Kevin McKenna captained the Canadians, ranked No. 84 in the world compared to No. 37 for Belarus.

Hainault (Houston Dynamo) and Will Johnson (Real Salt Lake) were the only North American-based players in Canada’s starting 11 as coach Stephen Hart elected to keep most of his MLS talent at home with their teams.

Canada entered the match having won just one of its last nine games (1-6-2) since losing to the U.S. in the semfinal of the 2009 Gold Cup.
