Canada’s Alphonso Davies battles for the ball with Harold Cummings and Luis Mejia of Panama during World Cup qualifying in Toronto on Wednesday.The FOMO was real on Wednesday night, with the long lineups snaking through the parking lots surrounding Toronto’s BMO Field showing little sign of subsiding as Canada men’s national team kicked off its crucial World Cup qualifying game against Panama.
With the second-placed United States edging Costa Rica 2-1 earlier in the day, Canada leapfrogs Panama to move into third in the eight-team group heading into a pair of games in November, against Costa Rica and Mexico, to be played in Edmonton. The top three teams after 14 games qualify for next year’s World Cup.
His regular employer – German champion Bayern Munich – may not have been ecstatic at seeing Davies in the starting lineup for the third time in seven days, particularly after he limped home during the last international break in September, but if there was any fatigue it hardly showed. Five minutes after Canada fell behind, Davies put striker Jonathan David through on goal, but despite a record of 16 goals in 21 appearances entering this game, David tried to square the ball to David Wotherspoon, whose shot was blocked. Davies simply glared at his teammate.
Onwards to Qatar.
And this team is tough 💪 they were ready to brawl if they had to. Well done boys !
bravo Canada
