The Bayern Munich defender squandered a fantastic chance to make history against Belgium as Thibaut Courtois saved his 11th minute penalty but the 22-year-old only needed 68 seconds against Croatia to make amends.

Following a long clearance by Milan Borjan the ball was worked wide to Club Brugge winger Tajon Buchanan on the right-hand side.

The 23-year-old took one touch before whipping in a delightful cross that was met by Davies at the back post, marking a massive moment in football history for Canada.

A talismanic figure in Canadian football already, Davies has cemented his name in history by scoring Canada’s first World Cup goal – the fastest in the competition so far this year.
