Canada blanks Haiti to move on in Concacaf World Cup qualifying

• Canada 3 (Duverger own-goal 46’; Larin 74’; Hoilett 89') , Haiti 0
• Canada advances to Concacaf finale for 1st time since 1997
• Own-goal by Montreal-born goalkeeper helps sink Haiti

Finally!

Twenty-four years of hurt and sorrow, close calls and not-so-close calls, dashed hopes and broken dreams, and bitterness and futility for the Canadian men's team came to an end on Tuesday night.

Canada earned a 3-0 victory over Haiti in the second leg of its Concacaf World Cup qualifier to take its two-game series 4-0 on aggregate. In doing so, the Canadians advanced to the final round of Concacaf qualifying, something it hasn't done since competing in “The Hex" prior to the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.
