Who is Cyle Larin?

Cyle Cristopher Larin is a Jamaican-born Canadian soccer player who plays as a forward and his team is Beşiktaş J. K. of the Turkish Super League. The player is 26 years old and was born in Brampton, Ontario, Canada on April 17, 1995.

He began his professional soccer career in 2015 when he was selected first overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by Orlando City, and from there he stayed 3 years in that squad. 

With Orlando, Larin scored 44 goals in 89 games, along which he served 8 assists to goal, with which he caught the attention of Europe, specific0lly Beşiktaş J. K., with whom he started playing in 2018. 

With Besiktas, Larin was consolidated in international soccer as he played 103 games, in which he scored 38 goals and 9 assists, and from there he would be loaned to SV Zulte Waregem, which is where he currently plays. 

And today, playing for the Canadian national soccer team, he received a deep pass, which he took advantage of to score a goal and put 1-0 on the scoreboard against Jamaica. 

Who is Tajon Buchanan?

Tajon Buchanan is a Canadian soccer player who plays as a striker and his team is Club Brugge of the Belgian First Division, and he is also a full international with Canada.

And with this team today he scored a great goal when a ball headed into the box was bounced by a Jamaican defender, but the ball followed its course to the left post and was left for Buchanan to head home. 

Buchanan's header made it 2-0 and remains on the scoreboard until now.

With this goal, the career of the player born in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, on February 8, 1999, was consolidated. Buchanan is 23 years old and his soccer career began in Canadian university soccer. 

And in 2019 his life would change as he signed an Adidas Generation-type contract with Major League Soccer ahead of the MLS SuperDraft, and on January 11, 2019, playing for the New England Revolution, he was selected ninth in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft.

His Major League Soccer debut was on March 9, 2019, when he entered in the 81st minute in a 2-0 loss to Columbus Crew SC, and with this club, he made 67 appearances in which he scored 12 goals and provided 11 assists. 

And with that performance, he caught the attention of Club Brugge, from Belgium, which signed him, and has made him play 9 matches, in which he has not scored goals yet. 

But maybe after this World Cup Qualifiers, this player will return to his club, ready to score goals.
