Canadian soccer star Alphonso Davies has been named CONCACAF 2021 men's player of the year after helping Canada qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986.
CONCACAF, the soccer federation for teams from North and Central America and the Caribbean, handed out its awards for last year on Monday.
Davies came out of nowhere down the right flank to pilfer the ball from under the feet of defender Harold Cummings, who thought the ball was about to go out. Canada followed the Panama victory with a pair of huge November wins in Edmonton - 1-0 over Costa Rica and 2-1 over Mexico - that moved Canada to the top of the regional qualifying table.
