Canada inch closer to World Cup qualification after 2-0 win in Honduras

Jonathan David scored a splendid second half goal as Canada won 2-0 in Honduras for the first time in nearly 37 years in CONCACAF FIFA 2022 World Cup Qualifying on Thursday.

Without key pieces in Alphonso Davies and Stephen Eustaquio, it wasn’t always pretty, but Canada came away with the win in San Pedro Sula thanks to a first half Honduras own goal, and a bit of brilliance by Jonathan David midway through the second half.

The Canadians got off to a dream start on Thursday as Honduran defender Denil Maldonado clumsily headed the ball into his own goal in the 10th minute of the match.
