IRAPUATO, Mexico – Tavio Ciccarelli scored in the 86th minute to lift Canada over the Dominican Republic 1-0 on Tuesday at the 2024 CONCACAF men’s under-20 soccer championship.

Ciccarelli entered as a substitute in the 69th minute before deflecting a Santiago Lopez cross into the back of the net to break the deadlock at Sergio Leon Chavez Stadium.

The 17-year-old Ciccarelli of Winnipeg joined the Canadian Premier League’s Halifax Wanderers in May after playing his youth career in England with Sheffield United and Leeds United.
