Here’s how the men did in Orlando.
Starting XI
Brad Guzan -- 6 -- Moments of trouble, including a poor early pass that nearly gave Canada a chance at a 1-0 lead within 2 minutes.
Tim Ream -- 7 -- Didn’t have his best moment at the back post on Canada’s goal, but delivered the goods in a left back role.
John Brooks -- 7 -- One tricky tackle atop the 18 that went uncalled, but the Wolfsburg man showed why he’s the most complete package at center back. A terrific ball handler with vision and a monstrous physical presence.
Sergino Dest -- 8 -- We should all write this 19-year-old thank you cards. What a dribbler.
Jackson Yueill -- 7 -- He’s gonna need to get experience in order to become an every-match starter, but there was enough hardness to think he could be an answer to the “Who backs up Tyler Adams?” question.
Weston McKennie -- 6 -- One great pass on a counter, but otherwise a perfectly average performance for one of the U.S.’ most promising players.
Sebastian Lletget (Off 69') -- 7 -- Good in tight spaces and the creative part of a midfield triumverate.
Jordan Morris (Off 86') -- 9 -- This kid. Aside from one horrific late cross, the Seattle Sounders man had another incredible game in the U.S. shirt. Goal, assist, sub off, win.
Paul Arriola -- 7 -- Just fine. Industrious as usual, but the focus was elsewhere.
Gyasi Zardes -- 8 -- A surprise starter, the big man delivered in a big way.
Substitutes
Alfredo Morales (On 69') -- 7 -- If you don’t start him, he’s a great player to bring off the bench with a led.
DeAndre Yedlin (On 86') -- N/A --
Tyler Boyd (On 90'+1)-- N/A --
