Canada Soccer makes history.
After opening their slate of Group A matches with a spirited 2-0 loss to the reigning world champions Argentina, “Les Rouges” bounced back in a big way on Tuesday.
Taking on Peru, the 31st-ranked country in the world, Canada pulled out a 1-0 win thanks to a 74th-minute goal from Jonathan David.
The victory not only gave the nation its first-ever Copa America win, but it also earned Canada a much-needed three points. They’ve now overtaken Peru in the group and barring a stunning upset of Argentina by Chile, the Canadians should be in good shape to move into the knockout stage.
Here are some of the best reactions to Canada Soccer’s historic win.
