CanMNT Talk: Les Rouges and the new Concacaf reality
In the latest video blog, we discuss Canada's performance against Suriname and look ahead to the second leg of its Concacaf series.
It took a while but Canada eventually overcame Suriname on Friday in the opening leg of its Concacaf Nations League quarter-final.
Junior Hoilett came off the bench to score the lone goal in a scrappy game and guide Canada to a gritty 1-0 road win. The Canadians will host Suriname in the return match at BMO Field on Nov. 19 (7:30 p.m. ET/OneSoccer), needing only a draw to advance to next year’s Nations League Finals.
This was Canada’s first competitive match since its fourth-place finish at this summer’s Copa América where it impressed by twice going toe-to-toe with World Cup champions Argentina. That tournament is now firmly in the rearview window, and Les Rouges were reminded of the grim realities of the grinding nature of away games in Concacaf on Friday as they did just enough to secure the victory.
