Canada 0 – USMNT 2, 2022-23 Concacaf Nations League final

The USMNT lifted its first trophy of 2023, winning the 2023-23 Concacaf Nations League by beating Canada 2-0 on Sunday. Chris Richards opened the scoring for the USMNT in the 12th minute, heading in a Gio Reyna corner. Folarin Balogun doubled the lead in the 34th. USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner added a second clean sheet after shutting out Mexico in the semifinals. In the 3rd-place game, Mexico beat Panama 1-0 on a 4th minute goal from Jesus Gallardo.

I think it’s another step in the right direction” USMNT captain Christian Pulisic told CBS Sports. “It’s just going to be about these knockout games come these big tournaments, Copa America, World Cup. When times get tough, we’ve got to step up and score the goals when it counts and keep them out of our goal, and we did a good job of that.”
