A very solid start to the year by the Americans with a convincing win over the neighbors to the north.

7’
Carlos Bocanegra nods home the Bobby Convey corner. We lead.

Landon Donovan does so well to slip in Clint Mathis here. The captain takes the pass in stride with one touch forward and a left-footed finish.

One minute later.

Jeff Cunningham goes darting before the ball slips into the path of Chris Klein.

No mistake was made.

After a nice exchange from Donovan and Mathis set up a chance for a Donovan cross.
