Confident Canada move into Nations League final

The Hindu  

Canada booked its place in the CONCACAF Nations League final with Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies on target in a confident 2-0 win over Panama on Thursday. Canada, looking to progress after its first World Cup finals appearance since 1986, was on the front foot from the outset, finding space frequently behind the Panama full-backs. Diaz brought out another good save from Borjan with a snap-shot in the 57th minute but Canada continued to be the more dangerous with diagonal balls to their wide players constantly exposing Panama. Panama’s woes were added to in the final minutes when Eric Davis sent off for violent conduct after a VAR review showed he had struck Richie Laryea in the back of the head.
