The United States Men’s National Team got some much-needed revenge on Friday night, defeating Canada 4-1 at Exploria Stadium in Orlando. Head coach Gregg Berhalter was beginning to feel the heat after a historic defeat to Canada in October. This consummate victory, then, was most welcome.
Jordan Morris opened the scoring after only two minutes, with Gyasi Zardes doubling the advantage soon after. Aaron Long made it three for the U.S. at the half-hour mark, and even though Canada pulled one back late through Steven Vitoria, the game was put to bed with minutes to go by Zardes, who rifled home to secure the win for the Americans.
