LAS VEGAS, Nevada The 2022-23 Concacaf Nations League is now complete following the 2-0 victory for the United States over Canada in the Final of the 2023 CNL Finals on Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

There were many top performances throughout the CNL in League A, League B and League C, including the following players who earned individual distinctions.

Christian Pulisic of the U.S. has earned the Best Player Award as the tournament’s top performer. Pulisic scored two goals to spearhead the 3-0 U.S. victory in the semifinals against long-time rivals Mexico last Thursday, before playing a vital role in the U.S. attack in Sunday’s Final victory.

The Best Goalkeeper Award has been awarded to Matt Turner of the United States. Turner registered a clean sheet in each of the U.S. wins in Las Vegas, including a solid three-save performance in the Final.

Gerwin Lake of Sint Maarten has collected the Top Scorer Award presented by Qatar Airways after scoring eight goals in six matches in League C, helping Sint Maarten clinch a berth in the Concacaf Gold Cup Prelims for the first time and promotion to League B.

The Fair Play Award goes to Panama as the team that best conducted themselves on the field of play.
