CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025: Canada thrashes Honduras 6-0
Tajon Buchanan scored two second-half goals and Canada routed Honduras 6-0 on Tuesday in Vancouver in the CONCACAF Gold Cup opener for both sides.
Niko Sigur and Tani Oluwaseyi added first-half goals for the host before Promise Akinpelu and Nathan Saliba rounded out the scoring.
The result leaves Canada atop Group B after the group's other two teams, Curacao and El Salvador, played to a scoreless draw in San Jose, Calif., earlier on Tuesday.
Sigur netted his first goal for his country to open the scoring in the 27th minute. The 21-year-old played 1-2 passing sequence with Jonathan David while entering the Honduras 18-yard box, and he knocked in a right-footed shot.
Oluwaseyi took a pass from Richie Laryea and blasted a 6-yard left-footed shot over Honduras goalie Edrick Menjivar to double the lead in first-half stoppage time.
Buchanan (48th and 65th minutes), Akinpelu (75th minute) and Saliba (90th minute) turned the contest into a blowout.
Canada will face Curacao in Houston on Saturday ahead of the Honduras-El Salvador matchup at the same venue that day.

Richards' 2nd-half goal gives US 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia, sends them into CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals
AUSTIN: Defender Chris Richards scored with a flick of the ball off a second-half free kick to lift the United States to a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia on Thursday night, sending the Americans on to the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals. Richards tracked the ball as it flew into the box on a curving free kick from Sebastian Berhalter in the 62nd minute to tap the ball with his left foot past Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aquidi. The win and the 1-1 draw between Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti in Group D's other match Thursday in Houston, clinched a knockout berth for the Americans, who improved to 42 wins, one loss and five draws in group play. The U.S. has won its group in 16 of 17 Gold Cups, and closes Group D play on Sunday against Haiti at Arlington, Texas. U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino stuck with the same lineup that produced a 5-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday, the first time he made no changes in consecutive matches since taking over the program last October. But playing against No. 58 Saudi Arabia, the 16th-ranked Americans showed little of the attack firepower they displayed against the No. 100 Soca Warriors. The match, played before a crowd of 11,727 in a half-full Q2 Stadium, saw few real chances on goal by either team. The Americans had just one shot in the first half. Richards' speed to track back to cover for Alex Freeman's mistake and block a shot kept Saudi Arabia from a 1-0 lead. Matt Freese got his second consecutive start in goal for the U.S. and third in four matches as he appears to have displaced Matt Turner. The Gold Cup represents the last competitive test for the Americans ahead of the 2026 World Cup. As co-host with Mexico and Canada, the U.S. is an automatic qualifier for the World Cup. The Americans limped into the Gold Cup on a four-match losing streak that included a 4-0 rout by Switzerland in their final tune-up. And with many of the top players either sitting out this tournament for personal reasons, injuries or playing in the Club World Cup, Pochettino selected a roster full of relatively untested and unproven players. Missing the tournament for the U.S. are regulars Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Gio Reyna, Antonee Robinson, Folarin Balogun and Sergiño Dest.
