The United States Men’s National Team opened the international window with a 1-0 win against El Salvador, the lone goal provided by Antonee Robinson. The second of three matches is a battle against the renewed rival, Canada, at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario in front of a reduced-capacity crowd. Both nations are at the top of the table, making this fixture a true six-pointer with potentially far-reaching consequences.
After playing to a 1-1 draw last September, this is the 38th meeting between the two teams, with the USMNT holding a 16-9-12 advantage. Canada currently leads the qualifying table with 19 points points from nine matches.
