USMNT vs Mexico final

The U.S. squad arrived at Sunday’s Nations League Final on the back of an intense semifinal clash against Jamaica last Thursday.

Reggae Boyz scored early and often against their opposition this season, taking an early advantage through an innovative throw-in sequence in which Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s end-line cross was converted by Greg Leigh with an assured header within one minute of kick-off.

U.S. Soccer controlled possession for most of 94 minutes while taking 20 shots, only to be denied by Jamaica’s strong defensive setup. Finally, in regular time’s final minute, Haji Wright earned Christian Pulisic a corner kick which Miles Robinson headed backwards off Jamaican forward Cory Burke and into the back of the net, equalizing and sending this match into extra time at the 90+5 minute mark.

Gio Reyna and Haji Wright combined early in the first period for one of two extra-time goals, which would secure U.S. advancement to the final. Reyna picked up a loose ball near midfield and deftly picked out Wright, who was making an entrance into the box from midfield; Reyna’s accurate pass reached Wright at full stride, allowing Wright to take one touch before unleashing a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Andre Blake for what proved the decisive goal in extra time.

At 3-1 down in the 109th minute, Wright once more found himself on the end of Reyna’s through ball, collecting with his back toward the goal before turning and shooting into the right side of the net for another three-goal lead that they would hold onto until final whistle blew.

USMNT third consecutive championship

Mexico only made it this far after winning their quarterfinal quarter against Honduras via a shootout last November. Honduras prevailed 2-0 at Tegucigalpa before El Tri fought back with two consecutive 2-0 victories from Luis Chavez and Edson Alvarez that levelled things on aggregate; Mexico finally won 4-2 via shootout after levelling this way on aggregate.

Mexico had only played one friendly between their CNL quarterfinal series last fall and this week’s Finals: a 3-2 friendly loss against Colombia at L.A. Coliseum on Dec 16Dec 16, 2023. Omar Govea and Guillermo Martinez gave El Tri an early two-goal advantage before Andres Reyes, Robert Martinez, and Andre Gomez scored three second-half goals to bring Colombia back.

El Tri easily overpowered Panama on Thursday at AT&T Stadium for their semifinal meeting, coming away victorious 3-0 thanks to goals scored by Edson Alvarez, Julian Quinones, and Orbelin Pineda.

Mexico leads in all-time series 36-23-17, but America enters this matchup undefeated against their archrival, holding onto their unbeaten streak against them (6-0-2) since being bested 3-0 at East Rutherford, N.J. on Sept 6Sept 6, 2019

On Jun 6Jun 6, 2021, at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colo., they started off their streak by defeating F.C. Cincinnati 3-2 in extra time at Empower Field at Mile High – in a match decided by two penalty kicks from Christian Pulisic (110th minute) before Ethan Horvath, coming off the bench after replacing injured Zack Steffen in extra time, prevented Andres Guardado (four minutes into stoppage time of second extra time) from scoring another penalty kick of his own from Andres Guardado four minutes into stoppage time in extra time 2.

Last Jun 15Jun 15, they met again for the Nations League semifinals in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.
