Alphonso Davies scored for Bayern Munich in their UEFA Champions League draw this week. The full-back found the net in a 2-2 stalemate with Arsenal on Wednesday, providing a positive note ahead of Canada's next international fixture away to Guatemala on 13 November.
Davies started the match and played 85 minutes before being substituted, capping a strong individual performance. His goal came during a busy midweek schedule for Canadian internationals, which included several other notable appearances in European competition.
Jonathan David started for Atletico Madrid in their 1-1 draw with VfB Stuttgart on Tuesday, playing the first half before being substituted at the interval. Over in the same competition, Villarreal's Canadian contingent experienced a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Liverpool. Tajon Buchanan started and played an hour, while Nathan-Dylan Saliba also began the match, providing an assist before being replaced at half-time. Substitute Tanitoluwa Oluwaseyi entered the fray at the break and managed to score a goal for the Spanish side in the losing effort.
In the Europa Conference League, Promise David came off the bench for Brighton in the 68th minute of their 0-0 draw with FK Jablonec on Thursday. These club performances arrive as the national team prepares for its next challenge, having recorded two wins and one loss in its last three outings. Those results included a 2-0 victory over Peru and a 1-0 win against Chile, before a narrow 1-0 defeat to the United States on 7 October.
Manager Jesse Marsch will be encouraged by the match sharpness of his key players ahead of the trip to Central America. The team's recent form shows two wins from three, and the next fixture sees Canada face Guatemala in World Cup qualifying on 13 November. The focus now shifts fully to the World Cup qualifying campaign, with the match in Guatemala set for next month.
