The 2023 Concacaf Nations League has met its champion. On Sunday night, Canada and the United States faced each other in the final of the competition in a match that ended in a 2-0 American victory. Thus, the Americans became two-time champions of the tournament.
Played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the game took place between two teams that had good campaigns in the group stage. The Canadians finished leaders of group C, with four wins and one defeat, while the American team was first in bracket D, with three wins and a draw.
With the ball rolling between the teams, the first goal didn’t take long to come out. After 11 minutes of ball rolling in the first half, the American Giovanni Reyna took a corner on the right side and, in the middle of the area, Chris Richards went up well with his head to score the Canadian nets.
The last American goal, which decreed the score, also came out in the first half. In the 33rd minute, in another assist, Giovanni Reyna sent a beautiful ball for Folarin Balogun to face the goalkeeper and release the bomb, with no chance of defense.
In this way, after a second half without goals, the United States won the Concacaf League of Nations for the second time, a tournament that has only two editions so far. Therefore, the Americans are the only champions so far.
