Shaq Moore’s goal 20 seconds in was the fastest ever by the U.S. Men’s National Team. Matt Turner made three saves in the match to help keep the Americans’ northern neighbors scoreless.
With the victory, the USMNT leaves Kansas City as the winner of its group and advances to the knockout round of the Concacaf tournament. The U.S. beat Haiti and Martinique in group-stage matches last week in KCK.
The Gold Cup bracket quarterfinals are next weekend in Glendale, Ariz., and Arlington, Texas. The U.S. will play a Sunday match next week, likely against Jamaica.
