United States beats Canada 1-0 in international friendly

The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) defeated Canada 1-0 in an international friendly at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota. The match's only goal was scored in the 29th minute by 19-year-old Justin Ellis, who finished a low shot from Alex Freeman despite sustaining an ankle injury earlier in the half.

The victory marks a perfect four-game winning streak for the USMNT during this international window, following previous wins against Peru, Chile, and Mexico. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino expressed satisfaction with the squad's chemistry and the integration of young talent, noting that the team maintained high intensity despite playing four matches in two weeks.

Canada struggled to find an equalizer, with Luc de Fougerolles hitting the crossbar in the 63rd minute. The Canadian side also faced injury concerns, as Stephen Eustáquio left the pitch with a collarbone injury. The USMNT will now prepare for the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals in November.
