Cyle Larin scored twice early in the game as Canada advanced to the CONCACAF Nations League semi-finals with a 4-1 win over Honduras on Tuesday.
Jonathan David and Jonathan Osorio added second-half successes for 53-ranked Canadae in the world. Representatives of the Maple Leaf have never been worried, even after the replica of Jorge Benguchi for Honduras, 81e in the world.
Canada (3-1-0) needed at least a tie to secure first place in Group C and a ticket to the semi-finals.
Honduras (2-2-0), whose captain was CF Montreal member Romell Quioto, had to win to extend their run.
The suspense didn’t last long, as Canada led 2-0 after just 12 minutes. Larin could have completed a hat trick before the end of the first half, but he missed the target on a penalty in the 42e minute of play.
The United States, Mexico and Panama will be the other nations of the four aces.
The semi-finals will be played June 15-18 at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas.
Canada now has a 9-12-7 record against Honduras, including a 6-2-3 home record.
