CanMNT Talk: A good 1st step and a historic result
In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we discuss Canada's performance in its World Cup opener in Toronto.
A historic first World Cup victory continues to elude the Canadian men’s team.
But Les Rouges collected their first-ever World Cup point on Friday courtesy of a come-from-behind 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina in a thrilling contest before an announced crowd of 43,002 fans at BMO Field.
Substitute Cyle Larin came off the bench to level the score and then nearly netted the go-ahead goal deep into injury time for Canada, who lost all six of its previous World Cup matches dating back to its tournament debut in 1986.
“We knew that Bosnia has experience, that they're aggressive and that they're savvy and confident. They showed that they are a stable team that's up for the fight in the qualifiers to get into the World Cup, so they were pretty much exactly what we thought they would be,” coach Jesse Marsch said in the post-match press conference.
