Matt Turner ended Sunday night a hero for the U.S. men's national team, saving two penalties as the U.S. advanced past Canada in the Gold Cup.
The USMNT eliminated Canada in the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup quarterfinals at TQL Stadium, home of FC Cincinnati, in a thrilling penalty shootout.
It reached that point after both nations were tied 2-2 at the end of extra time, but all the goals arrived extremely late. Brandon Vazquez, the hometown striker for Cincinnati, came off the bench and opened the scoring in the 88th minute. Makeshift left back Dejuan Jones delivered a perfect ball into the box from the left flank that Vazquez hammered home with his head.
