Canada soccer fans will remember November 27, 2022 for a long time. 

Alphonso Davies’ tally in the opening minute of their match against Croatia marked the first goal in Canada men’s World Cup history. The star midfielder for Les Rouges took a cross from Tajon Buchanan and headed it into the net, past Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic. 

After seeing his penalty kick saved against Belgium in Canada’s opening match of the 2022 World Cup, it was redemption for the Bayern Munich star.

Not only was the score an historic one for the country, but it is the fastest goal so far at the 2022 World Cup. 

The Canadian faithful have been waiting a long time to see their team back in the World Cup. Les Rouges are making their second World Cup appearance, with the first coming in 1986. 

The fans did not have a goal to cheer for back then, as the ’86 team was blanked in all three matches. They also did not get to celebrate a tally in Canada’s opening 1-0 loss to Belgium.

But Davies sent the country into a frenzy early on Sunday.
