  "account": "ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A 19-year-old forward named Justin Ellis scored the decisive goal for the United States in a 1-0 victory over Canada on Tuesday. The teenager, who plays professionally for Orlando in Major League Soccer, converted a cross from Alex Freeman in the 29th minute of the match. Ellis, who had previously scored the opening goal in a win against Peru on September 26, had been injured during a foul earlier in the game but returned to score the decisive goal. The U.S. team, with an average of just 21 caps and an average age of 23 years, 156 days, used the international window to assess several promising young players who might feature in the program’s future.",
