Canada's trophy wait continues after loss to U.S. in CONCACAF Nations League final
In the moments ahead of their first final in 23 years, several veteran members of Canada's men's national soccer team appeared to have watering eyes as the national anthems blared through Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Canada fell 2-0 to the United States in the final of the CONCACAF Nations League, the second edition of a tournament which replaced international friendlies in the region and put another trophy in the mix for men's national teams — giving Canada a better shot at regional glory.
The U.S. opened the scoring 11 minutes into the match, when Chris Richards eluded a defender in the 18-yard box before heading Gio Reyna's corner kick past Canada's Milan Borjan. The Americans added to their lead in the 34th minute as Reyna set up Folarin Balogun for his first international goal after choosing to represent the U.S. over England.
