2-1: Pochettino crashed in the United States

Canada It won this week 2-1 to USA In the match for the third position of League of Concaf countries, A very frustrating result for Argentine Mauricio Pochettino In his first official contest as coach of the Bars and Stars team. The United States announced the champion in three editions played up to the League of Nations, but this time it failed by falling 0-1 in the semifinal against Panama and unable to join Canada at the consolation party.

This contest is a major test for Pochettino and his team for the 2026 World Cup to be organized by the United States with Mexico and Canada. In addition, this series has come with excessive tension due to political conflicts between US President Donald Trump, and the residue of the countries present in this ‘Final Four’.

Although the United States has begun strong and intends to forget the semifinal Chasco as soon as possible, the first clear occasion is for Canada in 9 minutes. Just three minutes later, Jesse Marsch’s team ran out of his great star and captain when Alphonso Davies retired from the damage. Niko entered her place.

Canada returns to loading for 22 minutes. More and more comfortable and came with dynamism for the bands, the people found the prize. Again on the left, Ali Ahmed found Jonathan David alone. He ended his shooting on the rebound and Tani Oluwaseyi sent it to the network on 27.

Canada had opportunities to expand the income but the Pochettinians, with its only braid playing the whole first half, achieved the draw. Tim Weah drew a diagonal, Diego Luna received his service and left the ball on a tray for Patrick Agyemang Tie in 35.

Controversy over continuity

The controversy has been contributing to the continuation of two plays in which the people claim to be a penalty. Marsch exceeded his protests and the Canadian coach took directly red. But for a moment, his students take revenge on his ouster. David placed 2-1 out of 59 with accurate shooting with the left hander after the United States was rearmed.

Pochettino moved the bench along with the entry of Gio Queen, Tanner Tessmann, Yunus Musah and Brian White, but the United States did not produce clear occasions, except for separate approaches to a stopped ball and a shot diverted from Max Arfsten to discount, and his ship was consumed by this contest.
