David's historic goal helps Canada reach Nations League semifinals

Jonathan David's all-time leading 31st goal for Canada helped his country reach the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals on Tuesday.

Jesse March's side walked away with a 4-0 aggregate victory over Suriname following Tuesday's 3-0 win at BMO Field and Friday's 1-0 result in the first leg in Paramaribo.

Canada will face one of the United States, Panama, Mexico, or Honduras in the semis. Honduras led Mexico 2-0 on aggregate before Tuesday's second leg in Toluca, Mexico.

David overtook teammate Cyle Larin as Canada's top men's scorer when he calmly finished off a goalmouth scramble in the 23rd minute. It also moved the Lille forward up to 14 goals this season.

Jacob Shaffelburg doubled the lead seven minutes later with a slippery run past the goalkeeper that set up an unmissable shot into an empty net. He sealed the victory with a powerful finish from close range in the 67th minute.

A seeding table will determine which team Canada faces next. Three points are awarded for wins in each of the quarterfinal series. A draw is worth a single point.

Canada currently leads the table with a superior goal difference to the United States.

The semifinals, which will switch to a winner-take-all format, kick off March 20 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The final is slated for March 23.
