Canada faces crucial World Cup qualifying stretch with two games against Panama
TORONTO – Canada’s road to the World Cup is about to hit a key stretch with a vital home-and-away series with Panama.
First up is a game Friday night at Toronto’s BMO Field. Then it’s off to Panama City for the rematch on Tuesday.
Canadian captain Kevin McKenna calls the Panama games “huge” and says Friday’s match is probably the biggest of his international career.
That’s because picking up points at home is crucial in qualifying.
Panama leads the group with six points from two matches. Canada is second with four points from its two matches. Honduras has one point and Cuba none.
The top two teams will advance to the final round of qualifying in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
