Alphonso Davies and Shelina Zadorsky have been named Canada Soccer’s players of the month for November.
Davies scored Canada’s first-ever goal in men’s World Cup competition last Sunday in a group stage match against Croatia.
The goal came just 67 seconds into Canada’s second game at the World Cup. Canada fell 4-1 to Croatia.
It’s the second time the men’s team has made it to soccer’s biggest event, with the last appearance being in 1986.
Zadorsky helped Canada close out its international season going 1-1 in its away series in Brazil.
The 30-year-old was named Canada’s player of the match after contributing a goal in the team’s 2-1 win over Brazil on Nov. 11.
