Injured Ellis Scores, U.S. Blanks Canada 1-0 in Men’s Soccer Friendly
Ellis scored in the 29th minute despite an ankle injury, and Canada lost vice-captain Stephen Eustaquio to an upper-body injury.
- On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, the United States defeated Canada 1-0 in a friendly soccer match in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with 22-year-old forward Justin Ellis scoring the decisive goal in the 29th minute.
- Canada head coach Jesse Marsch sparked controversy before the match by telling The Guardian that Americans have been "inundated with propaganda since we were young" and are "hated by the rest of the world."
- Ellis suffered an ankle injury in the 20th minute after colliding with Stephen Eustaquio but returned shortly and scored; Canada's vice-captain Eustaquio left at halftime with a collarbone injury, and defender Luc de Fougerolles nearly equalized off the crossbar in the 63rd minute.
- Marsch holds a 17-14-7 record as Canada's manager, though his recent comments criticizing his native country have drawn scrutiny that may overshadow his on-field performance.
- Canada returns to action in November for the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals, hosting Guatemala on November 13 before the series shifts to Toronto on November 16.
