Gerba leads way as Canada romps in World Cup qualifying opener
Jun 16, 2008 04:30 AM
KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent–Issey Nakajima-Farran opened the scoring in the 32nd minute and Canada went on to beat St. Vincent & the Grenadines 3-0 yesterday in the first leg of a two-match qualifying series for the 2010 World Cup.
Ali Gerba, who came on for the injured Rob Friend after only seven minutes, scored a pair of goals, the first coming two minutes from the break and the second two minutes from full time.
The return leg is set for next Sunday at Saputo Stadium in Montreal.
Seemingly unaffected by the afternoon's 30 C heat, the Canadians never allowed the Vincentians to settle, taking control of the midfield with ease as Julian de Guzman, captain Paul Stalteri and Tomasz Radzinski all combined with short passes to overcome the steamy conditions.
"We knew that the heat would be a factor but our intention was to play at a comfortable pace and keep control of the ball," said Canadian head coach Dale Mitchell.
