Canada lead victory over French Guiana
Canada’s Alphonso Davies 4-2 against French Guiana to kick off the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup in Harrison, New Jersey, on Friday.
First-half goals from Scott Arfield and Dejan Jakovic had put the Canadians 2-0 up at the break in the Group A match before Davies, 16, took over early in the second half, outpacing two defenders before finishing coolly.
Well, the stadium was almost empty on first half, and start on second half, with Storm that Octavio Zambrano’s team looked to be cruising up 3-0, but French Guiana scored twice in succession through Roy Contout and Sloan Privat to set up a tense finish.
The great spot opened up for Davies put the game out of reach with his second of the match, slotting home an Anthony Jackson-Hamel pass in the 85th minute to secure all three points.
Canada returning in action against Group A favourites Costa Rica on July 11, while French Guiana take on Honduras. Gold Cup 2017 continue around USA. Follow up on Fox Sport and MLS websites for more informations.
