VIENNA, Austria — It was an impressive performance for the Canadian men’s national soccer team, but a 2\u002D0 win may have revealed more about Qatar than John…

“I think the guys went out there and did well,” Larin said after the game. “I liked the way we were playing with the possession and intensity. We want to build on that and you could see tonight we did and we are finding ways to be better every day.”

“To come away from Concacaf — it’s been four years — and play a team like Qatar, we know they’re prepared, they’re an organized team, I was happy with the performance,” Herdman said. “Defensively, to keep a clean sheet, I was happy; and attacking, we were able to break down their block, which is a strong block and we showed that quality. It looked like the boys were enjoying their football and that’s important to us.

Steven Vitoria, Kamal Miller and Alistair Johnston held the fort at the back, while Milan Borjan, minus his trademark grey sweatpants, started in goal. David put Canada up 2-0 in the 14th minute, cleaning up a around in front. The play was started by Miller, who fired a shot on goal from left corner of the penalty area, which was swatted away by Al Sheeb right to Davies in front. The Bayern Munich star rolled over the ball and it squirted to David, who poked it home.

Shortly thereafter, Herdman emptied his bench and substitute Ike Ugbo should have put Canada up by three goals when the ball fell to him in front of an open net after a run into the box by Richie Laryea. Ugbo, however, was a little too casual with the finish attempt and had his shot blocked by aa defender.
