Former FC Montreal standout Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla scored the opening goal as the Canada U20 National Team took a 2-1 victory against Honduras on Saturday night at the Estadio Carlos Miranda in Comayagua.

Captained by fellow FC Montreal standout Thomas Meilleur-Giguere, Canada had chances to take the lead early on. Toronto FC II midfielder Luca Uccello forced a save from a free kick in the fifth minute, while Tabla’s pass meant for Dario Zanetti found its way through the defense, but was claimed by the Honduran goalkeeper 12 minutes later.

Tabla, Uccello and Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2’s Kadin Chung then combined well in the 23rd minute to set up a chance for Tabla, only for his shot to go over the crossbar. The 17-year-old, who had five goals and a team-high five assists for Montreal this past USL season before signing with the Montreal Impact as a Homegrown Player this offseason, made no mistake eight minutes later, however, as he received a pass by Shamit Shome, beat a pair of Honduran defenders and fired into the net.
