Alfonso Davies’ team – Bayern professionally on the pitch for 88 minutes – beat Mexico 2-1 (1-0) in snow-capped Edmonton on Tuesday (local time).
Goalscorer Sil Larin, who has been under contract with Besiktas since the summer of 2020, (45+2/52) shot Canada with a brace to win against the Mexican. Atletico professional Hector Herrera (90th) scored a late goal. If the Canadians manage to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, it will be their second participation in Mexico since 1986.
The success propelled Canada to the top of the qualifying group for North and Central America. After eight games, the Canadian players are 16 points ahead of the United States (15 points).
Earlier on Tuesday, they were drawn only to a 1-1 (1-1) draw with Jamaica. Lillee’s Timothy V made an early lead for the US team (11′), which was countered by West Ham attacking tank Michael Antonio just 11 minutes later. After the Americans, Mexico is the last direct World Cup qualifier with 14 points.
