The United States and Canada will contest a consolation match in the 2024–25 Concacaf Nations League on Sunday, deciding who finishes third in the regional tournament. The Canada vs USA match will kick off at 02:30 UK time.
In Thursday’s semifinal, the US fell a 1-0 decision to Panama, allowing Cecilio Waterman to score in the 94th minute. Mexico’s brace by Raúl Jiménez beat Canada 2-0 in meanwhile.
With these neighbouring nations racing towards the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup and co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Mexico, pride and bragging rights become highly sought after.
Jiménez scored twice to reach fourth position on Mexico’s all-time scoring chart, so Canada was unable to contain the Fulham FC striker. In Thursday’s 2-0 defeat, they also hardly challenged Club América goalie Luis Malagón one shot on target.
Head coach Jesse Marsch’s side now has another opportunity to prove they can go blow-for-blow with the United States. Two of the previous four iterations of this cross-border competition have Les Rouges won; they also hosted a friendly in September at Children’s Mercy Park at Sporting Kansas City.
