FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022: Canada Qualifies for FIFA World Cup with Win Over Jamaica

Canada's men's national team clinched their spot for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 with a memorable 4-0 victory over Jamaica at BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario.

Canada missed out a chance to secure a spot in Qatar last week with a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica. It was Canadas first loss in three World Cup qualifying rounds and it snapped a six-game winning streak.

The win, Canadas eighth of the Octagonal round and their fourteenth of the entire World Cup Qualifying campaign, ensured they would head to the biggest stage in football for the first time sine 1986, and also guaranteed they would do so as the first place team from the Concacaf region.

Buchanan made it 2-0 in the 44th minute as Jamaica failed to deal with a free kick that the Club Brugge winger had earned after being chopped down in the midst of several stepovers. A defender headed Eustaquio's free kick away but it went straight to Jonathan David, whose cross dropped at Buchanan's feet in front of goal.

Hoilett made it 3-0 in the 83rd after Buchanan nicked the ball off a defender following a corner and fed the veteran Hoilett, who slashed through the penalty box and beat Blake for his 14th goal for Canada.

Adrian Mariappa's failed attempt at a clearance off a Sam Adekugbe cross ended up in the Jamaican goal to make it 4-0.
