Canada are below the red line heading into the final two games of World Cup qualifying in September, but still have their fate in their own hands.
There were no miracles last night at Estadio Azteca. That's what it would have taken for the Canadian men's national team to get a result at CONCACAF's most difficult venue. Instead, they lost their second straight game of Russia 2018 World Cup qualifying to Mexico, this time 2-0.
Andres Guardado scored a first half penalty kick in the 17th minute to give Mexico a 1-0 lead. Jesus Manuel Corona's effort before halftime would be the real backbreaker however, and all but handed the result to Mexico.
