In a historic friendly match, Canada defeated the United States 2-1 in Kansas City, marking their first away victory against the US since 1957. Jacob Shaffelburg and Jonathan David scored for Canada, capitalizing on defensive errors from the USMNT, while Luca de la Torre provided a late consolation goal for the Americans. This loss extends the US team's struggles, as they have now lost three consecutive matches, including an early exit from the Copa América. Interim coach Mikey Varas expressed disappointment in his players' mentality and acknowledged the team's urgent need for improvement. The defeat comes amid speculation about former manager Mauricio Pochettino potentially taking over the US men's national team. Canada's victory reinforces their growing status in CONCACAF, following a successful Copa América campaign.
