Surging Canada beat flat USA to take huge step towards 2022 World Cup

• John Herdman's side could seal Qatar 2022 place on Wednesday
• Americans continue to struggle to finish chances
• As it happened: Canada 2-0 USA

John Herdman's side, 2021's most-improved international team, have begun 2022 by making more history as they seek their first men's World Cup berth since 1986. On a frigid winter afternoon, they scratched their biggest itch and dismissed their noisy neighbours at a raucous Tim Hortons Field.
