Canada cruises past Dominica in Nations League qualifier

Canada dominated Dominica on Tuesday night at BMO Field with a convincing 5-0 victory to maintain its perfect start in CONCACAF Nations League qualifying.

The margin of victory matched the country's largest ever on home soil, as goals from Jonathan David, Junior Hoilett, Lucas Cavallini and Cyle Larin helped Canada cruise past the Caribbean nation.

The match saw Barcelona product Ballou Tabla make his first appearance for Canada since declaring his international allegiance in September.

Canadian teenage phenom Alphonso Davies also made his presence known early in the encounter, when his cross found David in the box to open the scoring.

After Hoilett doubled the lead, Cavallini showed off his composure with a cheeky finish from the penalty spot as Canada took a 3-0 lead into the break.

John Herdman's men went up 4-0 courtesy of an own goal before Davies connected with Larin for a close-range finish to cap off the scoring.

Canada, which opened its Nations League qualifying campaign with an 8-0 thrashing of the U.S. Virgin Islands last month, will next take on Saint Kitts and Nevis on Nov. 18.
