The World Cup moved from Mexico City to Toronto. A jump of 4,000 kilometers from the first to the second day. Contrasts typical of this elephantine Cup, geographical and environmental variation, from the colossal Azteca to the Toronto Stadium, a venue reminiscent of the Ramón de Carranza before the reform. Border stage, typical of the Victorian origins of football, to host the debut of Canada, an organizer without great pretensions. Animated by Alanis Morissette in the interpretation of Canada, The fans indulged in a discreet party. So much so, until Cyle Larin received a wall from Promise and turned like a cyclone to disorient Muharemovic on the edge of the area and send the ball into the net. It was the potion against anguish. The liberation. The comeback. The 1-1 that avoided the ridicule of the host. The best result in the history of the North American team’s participation in the World Cup.
