CanMNT played with one more player since the 38th minute.

Canadian men won after two goals in the first half from Jonathan David and Cyle Larin in their first game since the WC in Qatar. They beat Curaçao in the CONCACAF Nations League.

The turf at Ergilio Hato Stadium was artificial, and it took a while for the Canucks to play their football.

The home team played with 10 players after the first 37 minutes after Jurien Gaaru was sent off after picking his second yellow card after his foul against Ismael Kone.

The national soccer team of Canada missed great opportunities in the second half to score even more goals, but they controlled the game, and their victory was sure.

With this victory, CanMNT is now the leader in League A’s Group C, with a better goal difference than Honduras. The next game of Canada will be against Honduras on Tuesday in Toronto, and they need a point to go to the final 4 in the summer in Las Vegas.

Both opponents in the upcoming clash at Toronto’s BMO Field will be part of the upcoming Gold Cup because they can’t move lower than the top 2. Curaçao, however, will go down to League B after finishing in the last place.

Canadian national team missed the last final 4 of the CONCACAF Nations League back in 19-20 because they finished behind later the future champion USA in their group on goal difference.
