For the first time in 36 years, Canada’s men’s national soccer team is going to the World Cup. Canada defeated Jamaica 4-0 at BMO Field in Toronto in front of about 30,000 fans on a snowy and windy afternoon on March 27.
“We all dreamed of this as little kids,” said Jonathan Osorio after the game in an on-field interview with OneSoccer.The result was never in any doubt as Canada started very strongly and took the lead in the 13th minute as Cyle Larin scored his 24th goal for his country—the most in the history of all Canadian men.
Larin converted a pass from Stephen Eustaquio that came right down the centre of the Jamaican defence.
Tajon Buchanan added a second goal just before halftime. He slammed home a shot with his right foot at close range after collecting a cross.
In the second half, Canada got a goal from Junior Hoilett and an own-goal from Jamaica after a cross from Sam Adekugbe was redirected into the Jamaican goal.
