The game between the US men’s national soccer team and Canada, much like Mahomes’ vacation, proved to be a thrilling roller coaster ride. Until the 87th minute, neither team managed to score a goal. However, suddenly, four goals were scored after that mark, resulting in a 2-2 tie. The highlight of the match was Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner’s exceptional goal-saving skills, which showcased his top-tier athleticism. He made impressive saves on Canada’s first two attempts.

After his country’s glorious victory, Mahomes promptly took to Twitter to express his appreciation for the goalie. He penned a note, tagging Turner in the post and calling him an “Absolute Dawg.” Additionally, Mahomes celebrated his country’s triumph over their neighbor by posting three US flag emojis on his page, signaling his joy as an American for reaching the semi-finals.

Celebrating the win alongside Mahomes, his wife Brittany also expressed her appreciation for the team on Twitter, emphasizing how breathtaking the game truly was.

The USMNT showcased remarkable performance throughout the game, consistently leading in all aspects. They maintained a higher ball possession percentage, registered more shots on target, and astonishingly completed a whopping 720 passes, twice as many as Canada’s. However, both teams were unable to score until the very end, when each team managed to score one goal, resulting in extra time.

The extra time didn’t bring much difference as both teams once again scored one goal each, maintaining the tie and eventually leading to a penalty shootout. US goalie Turner made crucial saves on the first two shots by the Canadian team, securing almost 80% of the victory in an instant. The penalty shootout concluded with a 3-2 score in favor of the US.
