da betsul： The Arsenal goalkeeper saved Canada's first two attempts in the shootout after a dramatic 2-2 draw on Sunday

da spicy bet： Sunday night's Gold Cup quarter-final looked nothing like the most recent clash between the United States men's national team and Canada. Unlike in the Nations League final in June, Canada gave the USMNT game in this one. It was a war; an, at times, ugly battle of attrition that ignited at points throughout the 120 minutes.

It was missing many of the key players that defined that Nations League battle and, based on the style of play, they were two entirely different affairs. However, the two games did have two things in common: Matt Turner and a victorious USMNT celebrating another massive win over their northern rival.

Turner, one of few holdouts between the two USMNT squads, was the hero, coming up huge with two saves in the USMNT's penalty shootout win. After a back-and-forth 2-2 draw, with all four goals coming after the 88th minute, it all came down to a shootout and, in the end, it all came down to Turner.

The Arsenal goalkeeper stopped a penalty from Steven Vitoria, who scored from the spot earlier in the game, before getting a hand to Liam Fraser's effort right after. With the U.S. leading 3-2, it all came down to Canada's Charles-Andreas Brym, who rocketed his shot off the post to seal the U.S. victory.

Now, Turner and the USMNT will move on to the semi-finals, with just Panama between them and a return to the Gold Cup final. GOAL rates the USMNT players from TQL Stadium…

GettyGoalkeeper & Defense

Matt Turner (9/10):

Couldn't get to the Vitoria penalty in second-half stoppage time and there was little he could do on the Shaffelburg strike due to the deflection. When it mattered most, though, he stepped up, seizing the advantage for his team in the shootout with two colossal saves.

DeJuan Jones (8/10):

Absolutely picture-perfect cross on the Vazquez goal, marking his second consecutive game with an assist. Passing was a bit iffy at times, but another good impression.

Jalen Neal (7/10):

Had one big mistake that he'll have been glad to see go unpunished. Other than that, steady again as his passing was phenomenal and his defending was otherwise good.

Miles Robinson (6/10):

Generally fantastic throughout, even flexing some passing range with a few perfectly-hit long balls. The handball, though, set the U.S. back, even if there really was little Robinson could have done to avoid it.

Bryan Reynolds (6/10):

Was caught a bit too far upfield on Canada's goal in extra-time, which was a bad mistake on an otherwise okay night. Reynolds has helped his case this tournament, even if Sunday night wasn't exactly great.

Gianluca Busio (7/10):

Was pretty frenetic during the chaotic first half, but did have one clear-cut chance that didn't quite come off. Calmed down in the second half and created the own goal to level things deep in extra-time. His penalty was fantastic, too.

James Sands (7/10):

Another good day for Sands, who continues to own the No.6 role. The NYCFC midfielder cleans up so many messes and moves the ball on simply, and he did plenty of that on Sunday.

Djordje Mihailovic (6/10):

Not as good as he has been the rest of this tournament, but still wasn't bad. Was fouled a few times, and gave a few back, as the physicality of the game prevented him from ever really getting going.

Julian Gressel (5/10):

In the game for his crossing and set-piece delivery, but both were just a little bit off. Didn't quite add enough from open play to justify a good score.

Jesus Ferreira (7/10):

Had some good moments, although no goal. Really came alive once Vazquez came on, allowing Ferreira to drop deeper into a free-roaming position. In the words of Alexi Lalas on the broadcast: "I don't know what position Ferreira is playing, but he's doing good things!" That just about sums it up.

Alejandro Zendejas (5/10):

Another game, another rough one from Zendejas. Everything was just one step too slow, which is concerning considering this was the fourth game of this tournament.

Cade Cowell (6/10):

Brought a whole bunch of energy but very little end product. Still, you give him credit for adding life to a game that needed it. Converted from the spot, too, in a big moment for a teenage star.

Matt Miazga (6/10):

Had a few good tackles, but the key sequence was Canada's second goal. He gave Shaffelburg a bit of space and the ball took the slightest deflection, but those are the breaks.

Brandon Vazquez (7/10):

Talk about an impact. Playing in front of his home crowd, Vazquez missed a few quick chances, but made no mistake on his header. Unfortunately for him, though, the U.S. couldn't hold on to win it in that moment, but his team-mates did have his back by bailing him out after his miss in the shootout.

Jordan Morris (5/10):

Came into the game for extra-time and did a whole lot of not much.

Aaron Long (6/10):

Replaced Robinson, who wasn't quite fit enough to go 90. Wasn't involved much.

Cristian Roldan (N/A):

Came on as the U.S. chased the game and filled in as a makeshift right-back for the final minutes.

B.J. Callaghan (6/10):

May need to rethink the line up a bit, especially with the wingers, and he may have taken just a bit too long to recognize that. However, credit to him for sticking Vazquez and Ferreira out there together as the game wore on.
