Canada were minutes away from grabbing a third straight draw against the United States, but instead suffered their first loss since the summer.
Late in the second half last night Doneil Henry, realizing he was beat, grabbed Jozy Altidore's jersey with both hands and held on for dear life. It was the friendly match between Canada and the USA in a microcosm: les rouges trying its best to just hold on as the Americans gave them all they could handle.
But Canada would lose their grip right before the finish line. An Altidore header in the 89th minute would give the United States a 1-0 victory.
