USMNT can’t capitalize on chances, plays to draw with Canada in World Cup qualifier

NASHVILLE —

Brenden Aaronson of the U.S. and Cyle Larin of Canada exchanged goals midway through the second half of a World Cup qualifier that ended in 1-1 draw Sunday at Nissan Stadium, leaving both teams winless but unbeaten two games into the 14-match tournament.

Aaronson gave the U.S. (0-0-2, 2 points) a short-lived lead in the 55th minute, charging through the center of the box to slide onto a left-footed cross from Antonee Robinson and redirect it past Canadian keeper Milan Borjan from close range.

But Canada (0-1-1, 2 points) got that back seven minutes later with Alphonso Davies fighting his way around DeAndre Yedlin on the left wing to send a low left-footed pass into the box for Larin, who slipped the mark of defender John Brooks for an easy tap-in.
