Canada vs. Mexico live score, updates, highlights from CONCACAF World Cup qualifier
This is exactly how Canada drew it up: A home game against regional power Mexico in frigid conditions in Edmonton with a chance to go top of CONCACAF qualifying with a victory in front of more than 50,000 fans.
It’s the perfect moment for the Canadian men’s national team to make a statement not only that it has arrived as a force on the CONCACAF scene, but also that a World Cup berth is no longer a dream, but a goal within reach.
Canada is the last remaining undefeated team in regional qualifying, and it’s coming off a 1-0 home win against Costa Rica last week. Meanwhile, Mexico suffered its first loss of the campaign to archrival USA. Another loss will pile the pressure on manager Gerardo “Tata” Martino.

Goals:
(All times Eastern)
27th min.: Canada goalkeeper Milan Borjan gobbles up a Jesus Gallardo chip cross from the left.
24th min.: Alistair Johnston finds Cyle Larin in the box and he gets a low shot off, but it’s an easy stop for goalkeeper Memo Ochoa. Canada growing into this game.
23rd min.: Canada float a ball into the Mexico box looking to take advantage of a lucky bounce on the frozen astroturf.
14th min.: Chucky Lozano gets a yellow himself for a reckless tackle on Stephen Eustaquio. That’s a yellow already for each side and Lozano will miss the next Mexico match.
12th min.: Yellow card for Doneil Henry who holds back Hector Herrera and prevents a promising attack. Textbook yellow.
5th min.: Measured start to this one by both teams. No one wants to make the early mistake. Mexico wants to go vertical quickly.
1st min.: What a midair collision between Doneil Henry, who clatters into Hirving “Chucky” Lozano.
1st min.: We’re off.
8:49 p.m.: In case you hadn’t heard, this match is going down as the “Iceteca,” which is pretty creative:
