Substitute Cyle Larin scored in the 78th minute and co-host Canada earned its first point in its third World Cup appearance by rallying for a 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina at Toronto Stadium. Larin converted Promise David’s pass two minutes after entering the game. Jovo Lukic scored in the 21st minute for Bosnia. Canada’s next Group B match is Thursday against Qatar in Vancouver.
The U-S opened its first home World Cup in 32 years with an impressive 4-1 win over Paraguay in Group D action. Folarin Balogun scored twice in the Americans’ historic three-goal first half. Gio Reyna ripped another goal in the dying moments of second-half injury time, giving the Americans four goals in a World Cup match for the first time. The U-S scored only three goals combined in Qatar four years ago.
Kazuma Okamoto and George Springer homered, Alejandro Kirk had three hits and two R-B-Is in his return from injury, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the visiting New York Yankees 8-5. Kirk went 3-for-3 with a walk after missing 62 games because of a fractured left thumb. Cody Bellinger homered for the Yankees, who had their four-game win streak halted.
Davis Alexander threw for two touchdowns, and Micah Awe’s game-changing blocked punt led to a late score as the Montreal Alouettes beat the visiting Toronto Argonauts 37-30. Alexander was 30-of-42 passing for 441 yards and two touchdowns for Montreal, which improved to 2-and-0. Alexander extended his C-F-L regular-season record to begin his career at 13-and-0.
