Alphonso Davies just made his mark in the international game with two goals in his first competitive match for Canada as he led the team to a 4-2 win over French Guiana.
Davies first clear opportunity came when he beat the offside trap with only the goaltender to beat and Lucas Cavallini at his side. Unfortunately, Davies took an extra touch that gave the FG defender time to recover in front of goal. Had he passed even a step earlier, Cavallini would have had an open goal. Cavallini was understandably frustrated and must have got in Davies’ head, for the next time the two Canadian forwards bore down on their opponents goal Davies chose to cut the ball back to Cavallini instead of take the shot.
