Toronto FC Academy star Keven Aleman scored a brace for Canada in an U17 series as it came back from a 0-2 deficit to beat Costa Rica 3-2 on Thursday.

Aleman's goals were the first two struck for Canada in a 30 minute period when the country hit thrice to beat its Central American rival.

A Brampton native, Aleman was called up by the TFC first team in 2010 as part of the CONCACAF Champions League squad training ahead of trips to Utah to face Real Salt Lake and the Mexico-bound match against Cruz Azul.

Canada had lost to the Costa Ricans 2-0 four days earlier, but Aleman's two goals led the charge for a Canadian fightback in the rematch at Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto in Alajuela.

Other TFC Acedemy callups to this camp in Costa Rica were defender Parker Seymour and midfielders Dylan Carreiro and Sergio Camargo.
