At 9:00 Beijing time on January 28, the 9th round of the World Preliminary Round in North America focused on Canada away to Honduras. In the first half, Buchanan made Maldonado swing himself, and in the second half Jonathan David single-handedly broke to seal the victory, and Canada won 2-0, winning four consecutive wins and regaining the top spot.
Before the start of the match, the U.S. men's soccer team took the lead, they beat the weak team El Salvador 1-0, temporarily 2 points to the top of the table. However, the U.S. men's soccer team was only happy for 1 hour, and the top position changed hands again and returned to Canada.
Just 10 minutes into the opening, Buchanan swept a strong pass in front of the goal after the right side of the road, and Denier Maldonado accidentally swung himself away, 1-0! In fact, Buchanan's handling is very clever, it can be said that he deliberately created this oolong ball, and Canada played a fantastic start.
With a goal in hand, Canada patiently counter-attacked, ceding possession to Honduras. In the 74th minute, Liam Fraser broke the ball at the back and a 40-meter precision long pass was sent to the front. Jonathan David whipped up and snatched a shot into the net before the opposing goalkeeper, 2-0!
The 22-year-old Jonathan David is in a form of rage, contributing 12 goals in 22 Ligue 1 appearances, ranking first in the top scorers list. Back in the national team, Jonathan David is also a thigh, scoring 8 goals and 2 assists in 13 qualifiers. At present, the value of the post-00 genius has soared to 50 million euros, and it has also attracted the attention of chelsea, Real Madrid and Barca's three giants.
In the end, Canada beat Honduras 2-0, unbeaten in nine consecutive rounds. In addition, Canada achieved four consecutive World Cup victories, and the points reached 19 points. As a result, Canada once again surpassed the United States and Mexico and regained the top spot in the table.
Don't look at Canada, which is currently only 40th in the world, not as good as the United States and Mexico. But Canada is full of fighting power and has continued to improve in recent years. After nine rounds, Canada is five points ahead of Panama in fourth place.
In 2026, Canada will become the world cup host, but before that, they are very likely to use their own strength to break into the World Cup.
Historically, Canada has only competed in the World Cup in 1986, and now they are likely to end their 36-year wait, and the second World Cup trip in team history is not far away.
