Alphonso Davies Scores Canada's First Goal In FIFA Men's World Cup History

Alphonso Davies has become the first player to score for Canada at a FIFA Men's World Cup.

His history-making goal came after just 67 seconds of Canada's Group F game against Croatia at Khalifa International Stadium.

The 22-year-old found the net with a powerful header after making a surging run from a deep position to meet a cross by Tajon Buchanan.

Davies was mobbed by his teammates as they celebrated his famous goal.

He has now scored 13 goals for Canada since making his international debut as a 16-year-old in 2017.

Davies had failed to convert a penalty kick in Canada's first game of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. They lost that match 1-0 to Belgium on Wednesday.

Sunday's clash with Croatia was Canada's fifth match at a FIFA Men's World Cup.

They lost 1-0, 2-0 and 2-0 to France, Hungary and the Soviet Union in 1986.

Canada went on to lose 4-1 to Croatia on Sunday - a result that ended their hopes of progressing to the round of 16 at Qatar 2022.
