TORONTO – Canada’s World Cup-bound men’s soccer team earned a standing ovation during the Toronto Raptors game Monday.

Twenty-three players took centre-court with high-fives from The Raptor mascot following a video tribute.

The Canadians were coming off a thrilling 4-0 victory over Jamaica on Sunday at a chilly BMO Field that clinched just the country’s second World Cup berth in history, and first since 1986.

The Canadian men are 14-1-4 over three rounds of CONCACAF action and conclude qualifying play Wednesday in Panama.

The Raptors hosted the Boston Celtics on Monday.
