USMMT vs. Mexico: Live Commentary

One win stands in the U.S. Men’s National Team’s way of repeating as Concacaf Gold Cup champions.

Gregg Berhalter’s side face a familiar foe in Mexico on Sunday night. The match will take place at Chicago’s Soldier Field and will be the sixth all-time meeting between these rivals in the finals.

The USMNT booked its place in the final after a 3-1 semifinal win over Jamaica while Mexico used a late penalty kick from striker Raul Jimenez to down Haiti 1-0. With the win, the USMNT will claim its seventh Gold Cup title all-time, tying them with El Tri for the most.

Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie have been two crucial parts of the team this summer, while Zack Steffen has made important saves when called upon. Jozy Altidore and Jordan Morris have been included in Berhalter’s starting XI.

  1. Super disappointed that we lost, but thanks to the guys for fighting hard til the end! Mexico beautifully finished the chance, and we didn’t in the first half. Until the next time.

  2. FT: Mexico 1 – USMNT 0. Once again the USMNT cannot get it done against El Tri as Tata Martino wins his first trophy as boss of Mexico. Definitely didn’t agree with the USMNT’s subs and Berhalter will hear about that. Thanks for joining everybody.

  3. Need to finish those chances. Really impressed with Cannon, he’s played well. Pulisic always dangerous, but Morris has been the weak spot. Almost a giveaway for a goal and his crossing isn’t great.
