However, the Canadian men\u2019s national team capitalized on their first shot on goal. Jonathan Osorio makes a terrific cross-pass to David, who shots the ball past Haiti goalkeeper Johny Placide.<\/p>\n<p>After that goal, the Canadian men\u2019s national team had golden opportunities to score in the 18 and 52-minute of play. In the 18-minute, Larin had a chance to score and the same in the 52-minute for Jonathan David.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, for Canada, the ball seemed to have gotten beneath them and had trouble getting a clean shot off. Those might have been their best chances to get a two-goal lead.<\/p>\n<h3>Canadian goalkeeping and defence stepped up<\/h3>\n<p>The Canadian defence was fantastic against Haiti. Even with Haiti being the better team in the second half, they only had two shots on goal. Haiti also had six of the 10 corners of the game. For example, in the 59-minute, Scott Kennedy made it difficult for Lambese to score in the 59-minute.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ht\" dir=\"ltr\">My oh my, Milan Borjan! \ud83d\udc40<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CanMNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#CanMNT<\/a> | \ud83d\udd34 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hishXepRT3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/hishXepRT3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ku53uoQqom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Ku53uoQqom<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; OneSoccer (@onesoccer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/onesoccer\/status\/1403837788047482885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Antoine\u2019s shot was superbly stopped by Borjan in the 53-minute.

He also made a good play in the 58-minute to get to the ball.<\/p>\n<h3>Canada v. Haiti Game Overview<\/h3>\n<p>CanMNT wins 0-1 thanks to a Cyle Larin goal on the road. Also, the midfield played very well. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/onesoccer\/status\/1403864695648423936\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OneSoccer analyst Kristian Jack<\/a> pointed out both Stephen Eust\u00e1quio and Mark-Anthony Kaye.<\/p>\n<p>Eust\u00e1quio played very well. This included intercepting the ball from Haiti and making a great pass to Tajon Buchanan. Kaye also played very well and Jack could see him being a player in the game against Haiti. There is also Osorio, who provided the game-winning assist.<\/p>\n<p>Winning on the road against mid-top tier Concacaf teams has not happened that often for CanMNT. Now they have that experience of winning with this victory over Haiti. The pitch was quite rubbery, and it was not the CanMNT is typically used to.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Canada open with crucial 1:0 win over Haiti in away leg of the Second Round of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022\u2122 Qualifying <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\/CSfsJazi1l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/CSfsJazi1l<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Canada Soccer (@CanadaSoccerEN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CanadaSoccerEN\/status\/1403873887222480901?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 13, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Still, Canada got the job done.
