Canadians opened the scoring Tani Oluwaseyiand doc Patrick Agyemang even for USMNT Before the end of the first half, the Reds Star Froward Jonathan David The winner scored with just over half an hour.

Here are three quick thoughts about the match, which represented the last test for the full power team Mauricio Pochettino at the tournament games before the FIFA World Cup in the US next year.

Game games

The US improved improved defeat of Thursday 1-0 Panama In the semifinals, even if that was not nearly enough. Still, at least they scored in this game. It was also a wonderful team goal. Tim Weah Began a sequence when he slipped Diego Luna behind the Canadian back. Instead of hurrying a shot or passage, A real salty lake Playmaker reduced the ball and handed it to Agymanga, who could beat the guest guard Dayne St. Clair To temporarily withdraw the level of Americans:

Turn

Quite as the American goal was, the defensive effect of Americans left a lot to wish for. It cost them. Canada launched the hosts 4-1 in the first half, including a successful strike by Oluwasey who put Canada in front of Canada. In the end, the USMnt remained chasing the game 39 of 90 minutes.

Key stature

Now they have lost home games in Canada for the first time in a series of 100-year history.

What follows for usmnt?

The Americans will immediately return to their clubs in Europe and MLS, and although Pochettino will not have access to all of them for the Concacaf Gold Cup in June and (if they make at least the semi -finals) July, most of the players who were in Los Angeles over the last week to be on that list.

The USMNT will learn its group stage and opponents to draw Gold Cup on April 10th. He will then play a couple of settings, against Turkey on June 7th at East Hartford, Connecticut and Switzerland three days later in Nashville, Tennessee.

What follows for Canada?
