Canada Defeats USMNT 2-1 in Kansas

The United States men's national soccer team experienced a historic 2-1 loss to Canada in a friendly match, marking their first home defeat to Canada since 1957. Jacob Shaffelburg scored the opening goal in the 17th minute, followed by Jonathan David's goal in the 58th, while Luca de la Torre managed a consolation goal for the U.S. in the 66th minute. This match, which was led by interim coach Mikey Varas after the firing of Gregg Berhalter, continued the U.S.'s troubling trend, as they now face three consecutive losses for the first time since 2015. Discussions are ongoing for Mauricio Pochettino to become the team's new head coach. Canada, coached by Jesse Marsch, showcased a dominant performance, outshooting the U.S. 11-1 in the first half. The U.S. is set to play New Zealand next as they seek to rebound from this setback.
