CANADA DOMINATES DOMINICA

-

TORONTO A young Canadian side made short work of Dominica Tuesday night, cruising to a 5-0 win in CONCACAF Nations League qualifying. Canada is ranked 79th in the world compared to No. 177 for Dominica and the gap in class was plain to see from the get-go as the Canadians showed plenty of flair. Coach John Herdman, in his first home match at the men’s helm, started four teenagers and brought two more on from the bench. Herdman is 3-0-0 as coach and his team has yet to concede a goal. Jonathan David, Junior Hoilett, Lucas Cavallini and Cyle Larin scored for Canada. Dominica contribute­d an own goal. Canada plays at No. 134 St. Kitts and Nevis in November before wrapping up qualifying play in March at home to French Guiana. Results from the qualifying games will be used to seed contestant­s into three tiers for the full Nations League next year.
