Jonathan dos Santos was the hero as his goal saw Mexico edge the United States in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final.
Match Events
6' CLOSE! Pulisic misses a great chance!
Pulisic dribbles into the penalty area after a pass from Altidore, and the former tries to beat Ochoa at the near-post but the Mexican 'keeper does well to parry it away!
8' CHANCE! Altidore’s shot wide out
Altidore somehow mises from near the penalty area! He had won a great duel with Moreno, turned the defender, lined up the shot... and then somehow pulled his shot right of goal! He almost always scores from there!
31' Arriola misses a good chance!
After some miscommunication within the Mexican defence, Arriola manages to take the ball in the penalty area before dragging a shot agonisingly close to the far post!
51' Guardado makes goal-line clearance to deny Morris
Morris rises above everyone and hammered a header past Ochoa, but Guardado was on the post and managed to head it off the line!
73' GOAL! United States 0-1 Mexico (Dos Santos)
Jimenez plays a lovely back-heel into the path of dos Santos who, from just inside the box, struck his left-footed shot well, lifting it over a diving Steffen!
