And the question arises from the great game they played against Jamaica, in which they showed all their power, and in which they ended up defining the World Cup qualification.

After their game against Jamaica, how did Canada fare today?

After their game against Jamaica, Canada won 4-0 but also secured their place in the World Cup.

This is because the country with the maple leaf accumulates 28 points in the qualifying round, and its most recent pursuers, USMNT and Mexico, are 3 points behind this squad. 

And with today's 4-0 thrashing by the Canadians against the Jamaicans, they have just cemented their position as leader of the competition, and to prove it, we need only look at the goal difference the Canadians have.

Canada is the highest-scoring team in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers, and is also the lowest-scoring team in the confederation, with a goal difference of 17.

The goals with which Canada is already at the FIFA World Cup

Before reviewing the goals, it is important to remember that Canada is reaching the World Cup after 36 years, since the last time this team achieved it was at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. 

That is why the Canadians' victory over Jamaica is worth reviewing to learn how they achieved this feat in a confederation in which, until a few years ago, they were considered a less-than-relevant team.

The first goal of the match was scored by Cyle Larin in the 13th minute when he received a filtered pass from Eustaquio, which Larin received inside the box and scored the first. 

With Larin's goal, the game was 1-0 and the Maple Leafs could get closer to a direct ticket to the World Cup, but Tajon Buchanan was not going to be left without a goal.

So in the 44th minute, after a series of rebounds, Buchanan appeared in the box to push the ball into the back of the net and put the score at 2-0. And that's how the game would stay until at least the second half.

In the 82nd minute, Junior Hoilett received the ball inside the box and pumped in his shot to increase the lead, making it 3-0. 

And to put an end to the match, an own goal was scored in the 88th minute, when David's cross was attempted to be pushed away by Mariappa, but ended up scoring in his net.

With this result, the Canadian national soccer team secured its ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, making it the first CONCACAF team to achieve this goal.
