Alphonso Davies scores Canada’s first-ever World Cup goal
Alphonso Davies scored against Croatia on Sunday to give Canada its first-ever goal at the men’s World Cup.
Consider that 2,548 goals in total were scored at the 21 previous World Cups, with 132 of those scored at the 1986 tournament. Brazil came to Qatar as the all-time goals leader at the World Cup with 229, having competed at every tournament. The 41st-ranked Canadians ended up losing 1-0 despite outshooting Belgium 21-9 . Forward Jonathan David led Canada with seven attempted shots, none of which hit the mark.
Defender Bob Lenarduzzi came close in Canada’s final Group C game at Estadio Sergio Leon Chavez in Irapuato, on a corner against the Soviet Union, only to have the ball squib off his foot in the penalty box. Canada was blanked again, losing 2-0 in its tournament finale.“To this day I will have people, older people that is, say ‘You cost me a few bucks. If you had scored there, I would have done all right.
