Cyle Larin made men's Canadian soccer history on Sunday.
The 26-year-old from Brampton, Ont., scored in the seventh minute of Canada's CONCACAF World Cup qualifying game against the United States at Tim Hortons Field on Sunday to become the all-time leading scorer in Canadian national men's team history.
He now has 23 goals in 44 appearances, breaking a tie with Dwayne De Rosario.
Canada went on to win the game 2-0 after Sam Adekugbe added the insurance goal in the 95th minute.
Earlier this week, Canada defeated Honduras 2-0 at San Pedro Sula to remain undefeated at the top of the CONCACAF qualifying table.
An early own-goal by Honduras, credited to Tajon Buchanan, and a second-half Jonathan David strike accounted for Canada’s two markers in the victory.
They will wrap up the current section of Qatar qualifying Wednesday in El Salvador.
More to come.
