Schedule & TV Coverage:

The game was played on Sunday, June 6 at the Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. It was broadcast on CBS Sports Network in the US and on TUDN in Mexico.

Highlights:

The match was a thrilling affair, with both teams trading blows and chances throughout. The USA got off to a great start with a goal from Giovanni Reyna in the 27th minute, but Mexico equalized in the 79th minute with a goal from Diego Lainez. The game went into extra time, and the USA took the lead again through a goal from Weston McKennie. Mexico once again responded, this time through Andres Guardado. It looked like the game was headed for penalties, but in the dying minutes of extra time, Christian Pulisic was fouled in the box and converted the ensuing penalty kick to give the USA the victory.

“Hot Take”:

Overall, this was a fantastic game of soccer, and a well-deserved victory for the USMNT. It’s always great to see the USA and Mexico facing off in a fiercely contested match, but it’s disappointing to see any kind of disruptive behaviour from fans. Hopefully, moving forward, we can all enjoy the game without resorting to such behaviour. Congratulations to the USA on their first major trophy under coach Gregg Berhalter!
