World Cup Qualifying: Canada 1 - 0 Costa Rica
Maria Lysaker-USA TODAY Sports Revolution midfielder Tajon Buchanan and Team Canada returned to CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying action Saturday as they hosted Costa Rica at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.
Canada entered Saturday’s match in third place of the Octagonal standings with 10 points while Costa Rica was on the outside looking in as they sat in fifth place with 6 points. With first-placed Mexico taking on the second-placed United States, a win over Costa Rica and a United States draw or loss against Mexico would see Canada rise to second place in the Octagonal standings.
