The third-place matchup was set up after both teams lost in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals: Canada by Mexico and the USMNT by Panama.

Minnesota United’s Tani Oluwaseyi scored the first goal for Canada in the 27th minute, while Diego Luna of Real Salt Lake and Patrick Agyemang of Charlotte FC combined for the USMNT’s only goal in the 35th.

Lille striker David made no mistake with his curling effort from inside the area that eluded sprawling USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner, earlier in the second half, Canada head coach Jesse Marsch was sent off for dissent in the second half.

Following the shocking upset against Panama, this is the second consecutive demoralising outcome for the USMNT, leaving Mauricio Pochettino with more questions than answers at the beginning of his term.
