Perfect evening for Canada. The Reds, winners of Mexico (2-1) in an atmosphere overheated by … -9 degrees in Edmonton, also took advantage of the poor performance of the United States in Jamaica (1-1), to take the lead of Qualifications of the Concacaf zone for the 2022 World Cup, Tuesday.
Two goals scored by Turkish-born forward Cyle Larin, in stoppage of the first period and seven minutes after the start of the second, gave the Canadians the victory. Hector Herrera closed the gap in the 90th minute for Mexico, which led to electric dying moments at Commonwealth Stadium, where snow had been cleared from the pitch shortly before kick-off. The spirits were even seriously heated at the whistle, a confused scrum having formed between the players of the two teams, without notable clashes however.

More hesitant, Canada deserved its victory and can finally hope to return to a World Cup, in Qatar (November 21 – December 18), which would be its first contested 36 years after the previous one in Mexico. After the 8th day of these qualifiers bringing together the countries of North America, Central America and the Caribbean, with three tickets to compost (the 4th will go through an intercontinental jump-off), he occupies first place with 16 points.
The United States will be satisfied
Either one point ahead of the United States and two over Mexico and Panama, which beat El Salvador (2-1). It is a sprint between these four nations that seems to take place, even if Costa Rica, winner of Honduras (2-1), can still play the spoilsport (5th with 9 pts). Earlier, the United States missed the opportunity to confirm their improved interview against Mexico (2-0) four days earlier, conceding a happy draw in Kingston.
An early goal from Timothy Weah (11th), well found on the left side of the penalty area by Ricardo Pepi, nevertheless suggested the opposite. But with a superb long shot, which was lodged under the crossbar, Michail Antonio equalized eleven minutes later. And while the United States failed to be dangerous by any means, the Jamaicans were denied a goal in the 84th minute, from Damion Lowe guilty for the referee relying too much on an opposing defender to place his header. .
