June 18 (Reuters) - The United States beat Canada 2-0 on Sunday in Las Vegas to secure their second consecutive CONCACAF Nations League title.
First-half goals from Chris Richards and Folarin Balogun were enough to give the United States the victory in their first meeting with Canada in a tournament final.
Richards opened the scoring when he headed home a Gio Reyna corner in the 12th minute.
Reyna was again the provider in the 34th minute when his through ball was dispatched by Balogun into the bottom corner.
Mexico beat Panama 1-0 earlier on Sunday in the third-place match.
