USMNT vs Canada highlights, analysis: Canada wins CONCACAF Nations League third-place game after Marsch sent off, Davies injured

An irate-looking Jesse Marsch was issued a straight red card and dismissed from Canada’s touchline in the 54th minute against the United States in the Concacaf Nations League third-place match Sunday.Canada’s coach had stepped on the field to shout repeatedly at referee Katia Itzel García. Marsch was protesting two potential missed penalty calls. In the 48th minute, Canada forward Jonathan David said he was fouled by U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams. Adams looked to make contact with David’s leg.

Minutes later, David crossed the halfway line with the ball and had another clear breakaway towards the U.S. goal. As David progressed, U.S. left back Max Arfsten got close to the Canada forward. Multiple replays suggested David might have slipped, but that was of no consolation to Marsch.

Marsch, who previously took issue with a penalty no-call involving Derek Cornelius during Canada’s semifinal against Mexico, had to be restrained by multiple Canada players.
