Star Canadian forward Jonathan David secures late-winning goal to lift home side to victory
Canada 's Alphonso Davies, centre, and Panama 's Kahiser Lenis battle for the ball during international soccer action in Toronto, on Oct. 15.The road to 2026 will be a long and winding one, and nights like Tuesday at BMO Field will, to the angst of the 23,315 fans that showed up on a cold, windy October evening, likely be more the norm than the exception.
After playing the first 10 games of his Canadian national team tenure in Europe and the United States, Marsch finally got to feel the love from the home crowd as the men’s team played a game on Canadian soil for the first time since last November. As might be expected for an all-CONCACAF friendly, the game was tetchy from the off, with consistent fouling the order of the day, particularly from the visitors. Panama, which had suffered a 2-0 road loss against the United States last weekend – in Mauricio Pochettino’s first game in charge of the Americans – were clearly in no mood to go home with a double dose of defeat.
While Panama may have won the first half in the foul count – nine to five – when it comes to the only score that truly matters, Canada found itself on top.
