He assisted on Jonathan Osorio’s equalizer against Mexico at Estadio Azteca, scored the highlight-reel winner against Panama in Toronto at BMO Field, and got his record-breaking assist on Jonathan David ‘s goal that made it 4-1 against Panama.

Davies also delivered the corner kick for Canada’s 1-1 equalizer, an own goal by the Panama defender, in the home match at Toronto. 

In Germany, Davies featured in three league matches and got one assist as FC Bayern maintained first place in the Bundesliga.
