KANSAS CITY — The Canadian men ended 67 years of failure against the U.S. on American soil with an impressive 2-1 win in a soccer friendly Saturday.
Jacob Shaffelburg and Jonathan David scored for the 40th-ranked Canadians, who led 1-0 after a dominant first half. Substitute Luca de la Torre replied for the 16th-ranked Americans, who offered more resistance after the break.
The Americans, coming off defeats at the hands of Panama and Uruguay at Copa America, have slumped to a third straight defeat for the first time since 2015 successive losses to Brazil, Mexico and Costa Rica. Marsch, a former U.S. international who was in the running for the U.S. job on an earlier occasion, has been quizzed at length about the American program in recent weeks. He made it clear after Saturday's game that he landed in the right place.
David doubled the lead in the 58th minute, sweeping the ball home past Schulte after Tim Reams failed to clear. It was David's 29th goal for Canada, tying him with Cyle Larin for the men's all-time lead.
