Canada coughs up 2-1 lead late on own goal, falls in shootout to Americans
Matt Turner told his American teammates not to worry when their match against Canada went to penalty kicks.
“A lot of the penalties that I had seen on my sheets or in my preparation, most of those guys were off the pitch by the time the pens were there,” Turner said. “I just trusted my instincts, really, and typically when I do that, I find myself having a lot more success.” “He’s a really settling force at the back for the U.S.,” Canada coach John Herdman said. “He’s got wonderful feet. His game management is very good, and he can save penalties.”
The Americans have reached 12 straight Gold Cup semi-finals. Going to a shootout for the first time since losing to Panama in the 2015 Gold Cup third-place game, the Americans improved to 5-4 in games decided by penalty kicks, including 5-2 in competitive matches. They had not won a shootout since beating Panama in the 2005 Gold Cup final.
