Tajon Buchanan draws US$750 first-goal odds in Canada market

Tajon Buchanan and US$750

Buchanan plays for Villarreal and the Canada national team. He is usually a wide midfielder, but he can also be used as a full-back, and that flexibility sits behind his place in the scoring market.

In the 6-0 win against Qatar, he took four shots, put one on goal, delivered 10 crosses, landed three of them accurately, and earned one corner. That workload shows why he is being priced as a live attacking option even before the match context is spelled out.

Ali Ahmed at US$1100

The comparison with Ali Ahmed is the clearest wrinkle in the market. Buchanan’s US$750 first-goal payout is lower than Ahmed’s US$1100, even though both are Canada national team players listed together.

Evidence Makgopa is listed at US$1200, and Oswin Appollis at US$1300. On the same board, Buchanan sits ahead of those names for first-goal pricing, while Jonathan David is listed at US$160, Cyle Larin at US$180, and Alphonso Davies at US$290 for first goal including extra time.

Villarreal and the Canada

The betting sheet gives readers the practical part immediately: Buchanan’s price is US$750 for the first goal, US$310 including extra time, and those numbers place him in the middle of a wider scoring market rather than at the top of it.

Which match the first-goal scorer market applies to is not stated in the source, so the only firm read is the price itself and how it stacks up against the other listed Canada players.
