Justin Ellis scores lone goal as USMNT edges Canada in friendly

Justin Ellis scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory for the USMNT against Canada on October 6. This match capped off a successful international window, where the US won all four matches. The starting lineup featured many young players, with an average age of 23 years. Ellis, who plays for Orlando in MLS, converted a cross in the 29th minute, marking his second goal in three appearances for the national team. CNS goalkeeper Brian Schwake made critical saves to secure the clean sheet. Both teams will compete in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals in November.
