The U.S. men's national team fell to Canada 2-1 Saturday in an international friendly under interim head coach Mikey Varas.
Canada, under American head coach Jesse Marsch, came out with a point to prove. The team brought more energy in the opening minutes and pressed the U.S. relentlessly, to which the Americans didn't have consistent answers for.
Star Canadian striker Jonathan David and Cyle Larin combined to take a 2-0 lead in the 58th minute off the mistake.It didn't take the U.S. long to eventually answer back, though. Substitute midfielder Luca de la Torre curled in a shot in the 66th minute after fellow midfield sub Aidan Morris miraculously retained the ball in the penalty box with a spin move.It marked de la Torre's first goal for the U.S., but it wasn't enough. The next best chance for the U.S.
Cardoso, Yunus Musah and Brendan Aaronson, the three starting midfielders, all were substituted. Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna and Tyler Adams are not in the September squad.
