In a stark showing at SoFi Stadium, Canada's 2-1 win over the US in the Concacaf Nations League provided a morale boost ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Jesse Marsch, the Canadian coach, was barred from commenting post-match due to a red card incurred during the game. His team's strong performance marked a significant step forward, indicating their strength as they prepare to co-host the upcoming World Cup. Defender Alistair Johnston emphasized the importance of this win for momentum amid rising political tensions between the US and Canada.
The political environment aside, it was just really important that we go into this summer with some momentum, defender Alistair Johnston said afterwards.
As it turned out, Marsch's reflections weren't needed. His players had done more than enough talking in 90 dominant minutes, beating the US 2-1 in the Concacaf Nations League.
