Injured Ellis Scores, U.S. Blanks Canada 1-0 in Men’s Soccer Friendly

The win capped a 4-0 friendly window for the United States, which used 13 debutants and teenagers to reshape the roster.

  • On Tuesday, teenager Justin Ellis scored in the 29th minute to give the United States a 1-0 victory over Canada in an international friendly in St. Paul, Minnesota.
  • Canada head coach Jesse Marsch sparked pre-match controversy by telling The Guardian that Americans are "inundated with propaganda," while US manager Mauricio Pochettino focused on integrating young talent following the team's World Cup exit.
  • Ellis tapped in an Alex Freeman strike in the 29th minute, while Canada's vice-captain Stephen Eustaquio suffered a collarbone injury late in the first half and did not return after halftime.
  • Pochettino praised the performance, stating "We made changes, we kept the level. I think we managed really well, we competed really well," as the United States completed four consecutive international friendly victories.
  • Both squads now shift focus to CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals in November, with the United States facing Haiti while Canada prepares for a two-legged matchup against Guatemala starting November 13.
