Mexico triumphed in this year's Gold Cup after an impressive 2:1 comeback win over USA.

In Houston, one of the two hosts of the competition started strongly and pulled ahead after 240 seconds of play. Christopher Richards was on target. Mexico's response was not long in coming, as Raul Jimenez restored parity in the 27th minute. About a quarter of an hour before the end of regular time, Edson Alvarez scored to seal the comeback in Mexico's favor.

This is their tenth Gold Cup trophy. The Mexicans defended their title from 2023, when they defeated Panama 1:0. Interestingly, in 2019 and 2021, the Americans and Mexicans faced each other again and shared one victory each in the finals - in 2019, the Aztecs won 1:0, and the Yankees took revenge two years later after overtime.

TUSA, led by former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, remains second in trophies with seven. The only other national team to have won the Gold Cup is Canada back in 2000. | BGNES
