Canada wins opening leg against Guatemala but loses captain Davies to injury

GUATEMALA CITY — Canada defeated Guatemala 3-2 in the opening leg of a CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal on Friday night but lost captain Alphonso Davies to injury. “It’s a lower-body injury right now,” said Canadian assistant coach Mauro Biello. “They’re going to assess him over the next couple days here and then we’ll get a better idea on the extent of the injury.” Tani Oluwaseyi (18th minute), Liam Millar (28th) and Jonathan David (stoppage time) scored in the first half for Canada, which took a 3-0 lead into the halftime break. Oscar Santis put Guatemala on the board in the 54th minute at Estadio El Trebol. An own goal by Canadian defender Luc de Fougerolles in stoppage time made it a one-goal game. “We’re very happy with how our forwards played, especially in the first half,” Biello said.
