So far, so good for Team Canada.
The Canadian men's national team holds a 1-0 lead at halftime of their CONCACAF World Cup qualifying game against the United States at Tim Hortons Field on Sunday thanks to a goal from Cyle Larin in the sixth minute.
Larin's marker made him the all-time leading scorer in Canadian national men's team history with 23 goals in 44 appearances, breaking a tie with Dwayne De Rosario.
The U.S. nearly levelled the match at the end of the first half but Canadian keeper Milan Borjan denied Weston McKennie with a spectacular one-handed stop.
Earlier this week, Canada defeated Honduras 2-0 at San Pedro Sula to remain undefeated at the top of the CONCACAF qualifying table.
An early own-goal by Honduras, credited to Tajon Buchanan, and a second-half Jonathan David strike accounted for Canada’s two markers in the victory.
They will wrap up the current section of Qatar qualifying Wednesday in El Salvador.
