The United States Men’s National Soccer Team was capable of making a hot start, but the Gold Cup final win on Sunday night, coming to Mexico from 2–1.
Mexico has now won its 10th Gold Cup so far, increasing its record after defending its title in 2023.
The United States immediately climbed on the board, as Midfielder Sebstian Burhelter, son of former head coach Greg Burhelter, placed a free kick in the perfect position for Chris Richards, which to remove the ball from the crossbar and move 1-0 on the round line.

Both of them were connected against Saudi Arabia in group stage, and they did so again in the match that he could take an lead on the favorite “El TRAI”.
But Mexico began to achieve its speed back, with the midfielder Marcel Ruse some shots on Matt Fraz before Raul Zimanez, which simply turned and fired with his left leg to put it a top shelf.

It seemed that veteran USMNT defender Tim Reem was going to stop it because the window gymnas was to be shot, it was minuscule, yet it had passed, and the Fras had no chance.

In the second half, the game was still tied in a goal, dominating the Mexico ball, and it almost felt as if the decisive target was coming soon.
This took place in the 77th minute when Johann Waskes put a header in the penalty area, and Edson Alwarze topped Mexico as he turned the early header of Vaskes into a net. A Var Replay confirmed that the alverages were upside down, and the target stood.
Desperate now, America was working hard to find that equal before the end of time, and Patrick Agyamang and Alex Freeman had possibilities. However, both could not handle the ball at the end.
The Mexico squad had all his top people, which is why he was a favorite for protecting his title under the head coach Xavier Aguire. He did this as the first team to repeat himself since 2011.
