2021 Gold Cup Recap: USA 1-0 Canada - The Americans score early and come away with a lucky win

The last time that Canada and the USA faced off it was in the Nations League following a shocking loss in Toronto for the Americans. That was followed up by a turnaround victory at home and eventually the USA went on to claim the title of best team in Concacaf as far as the Nations League goes.

Both teams are a few years wiser and more experienced with Canada even growing a bonafide Golden Generation since the last meeting. Alas, that wisdom was woefully absent from the USA in the game. After a first minute goal, the Stars and Stripes struggled mightily against what was not even a strong press from Canada to do much of anything to organize the midfield.
