Recap: Historic Canadian 2-0 victory over rival Americans in Hamilton

An early Cyle Larin goal followed by a very late Sam Adekugbe goal propelled Canada to a historic 2-0 victory over an American side that they have previously defeated only once in eleven matches since 2005.

A few words that come to mind when describing the Canadian Men’s National Team are resilient, committed, clinical, gritty, and most importantly destined for greatness. Coming off a 2-0 victory in Honduras, the Canadian side had a cut and dry scenario in front of them against the United States. A win would give Canada a stranglehold on first place in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying, a draw would more or less make the remaining games must wins for both USA and Canada and a loss would put the USMNT in first place in the group with a chance to control their own destiny.
