Canada is heading to the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1986.
Canada punched its ticket to Qatar with a 4-0 win against Jamaica in front of a packed crowd of 29,122 at Toronto’s BMO Field. Cyle Larin opened the scoring in the 13th minute, slicing through Jamaica’s defence after an inch-perfect feed from Stephen Eustaquio. Larin was eventually subbed off in the 62nd minute to raucous applause.
The party was on from there as a relentless Canadian attack gave the Jamaican backline fits throughout the first half, culminating in Tajon Buchanan’s 43rd-minute insurance goal.
