The CanMNT notable win against Costa Rica<\/h4>\n

On Sunday, the CanMNT put Concacaf on notice. The 70th ranked Canadian side (according to FIFA<\/a>) completely dominated the 50th ranked Costa Ricans from start to finish. As a result, Costa Rica did not have a shot on goal and two of their four shots were blocked by Canada.<\/p>\n

On offence, CanMNT was spectacular. In particular, F.C. Pa\u00e7os de Ferreira player Stephen Eust\u00e1quio was the best player in the game. He made several great crosses. More importantly, he provided an assist and a goal in Canada\u2019s dominant 0-2 win over Costa Rica.<\/p>\n
