block

Canada romped to a 4-1 victory over Martinique on Sunday in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Canada, stung by the loss of Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies to an ankle injury on the eve of the tournament, nevertheless had no trouble in their Group B opener in Kansas City thanks to goals from Cyle Larin, Jonathan Osorio, Stephen Eustaquio and Theo Corbeanu. All came after Martinique opened the scoring in the 10th minute on a strike by Emmanuel Riviere. Larin’s header put the Canadians back on terms in the 16th minute, Osorio fired them ahead in the 20th and Eustaquio’s 26th-minute strike saw them go into halftime with a 3-1 lead.
