They will face Haiti, which eliminated Canada from the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup. It was a slow start for Canada, but as the game went on, Canada started to take control of the game. Conversely, Suriname played well early in the game, but did not have much possession of the ball and lost momentum later in the game.<\/p>\n<h2>CanMNT eliminated Suriname in a 4-0 win<\/h2>\n<h3>Three keys to the game<\/h3>\n<h4>CanMNT dominated possession and shots on goal<\/h4>\n<p>Canada had 16 shots, with 13 of those shots on target. However, they did not start the game well. Cyle Larin had the first shot on goal in the eighth minute. They would then give some chances away to Suriname before getting two shots on goal in the 17-minute. Unfortunately, for Canada, Suriname goalkeeper Warner Hahn stepped up and made two big saves. This kept the game scoreless.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">37&#39; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CanMNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#CanMNT<\/a> scores!

These were the best two chances Suriname had to take the lead in the first half. They would get one more shot from Becker, but his shot was off-target in the 14-minute.<\/p>\n<p>Suriname only had two chances to score in the second half. However, they were good chances. Shaquille Pinas from outside the box was close to a shot on goal, but the shot was off-target. Lastly, in the 70-minute Suriname had a chance to make it a one-goal game.<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell te Vrede had a terrific chance to score in the centre of the goal. However, Vrede\u2019s shot from the centre of the box was too high and off-target. Minutes later, David scored Canada\u2019s third goal of the game and secured the win for the Canadians.<\/p>\n<h3>Game Overview &#8211; CanMNT eliminated Suriname in a 4-0 win<\/h3>\n<p>There was a lot of hype surrounding Suriname before the game. They have some great players on the team, especially on the backline. However, it is also true to say that Suriname needs to play more games with each other in order to gain more chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>Canada had to go through many growing pains to get to where they are now. It also helps when a team like CanMNT produces players like David and Davies. This is a big reason why CanMNT eliminated Suriname from qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Second Round! \ud83c\udf41<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa : <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/onesoccer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@onesoccer<\/a><br \/> \ud83d\udcc5 : 12 June &amp; 15 June<br \/>\ud83c\udd9a : Haiti \ud83c\udded\ud83c\uddf9<br \/>#\u20e3: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CANMNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#CANMNT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WCQ2022?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#WCQ2022<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bV79QRhOOR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/bV79QRhOOR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Canada Soccer (@CanadaSoccerEN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CanadaSoccerEN\/status\/1402465233696874499?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Next for Team Canada will be Haiti.
