Larin leads Canadian men's soccer team over Honduras, into CONCACAF Nations League finals

Cyle Larin scored twice early as Canada advanced to the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals with a dominant 4-1 win over Honduras on Tuesday.

Jonathan David and Jonathan Osorio added second-half goals for the 53rd-ranked Canadians, who controlled the game from the get-go. Jorge Benguchi scored a consolation goal for No. 81 Honduras.

Canada (3-1-0) came into the contest knowing a draw would be enough to win Group C and advance to the tournament final four in Las Vegas in June. Honduras (2-2-0) needed a win.

Honduras had no answer for Canada's multi-pronged attack before a modest crowd of 13,626 on a mild evening at BMO Field.

The home side hogged the ball early, as shown by one 21-pass sequence. And Canada went ahead in the ninth minute, cutting through the Honduras defence like a hot knife through butter, on a beautiful give-and-go between Osorio and Larin with Larin slotting the ball home through a defender's legs. Alphonso Davies triggered the attack down the left flank.

Larin made it 2-0 in the 12th minute, heading home a perfect Stephen Eustaquio corner after his marker, defender Denil Maldonado, lost his footing. Larin, who has scored five goals in his first eight games for Spain's Real Valladolid, increased his Canada total to 28 goals in 60 appearances.

David had a chance to make it 3-0 in the 26th minute but squibbed his shot wide with the Honduran defence in disarray.
