Relive the excitement of the clash between United States and Mexico with these thrilling highlights! 🤩

The last match of Group A of the 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup took place on Monday evening at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, where Mexico earned a historic 2-0 win against the United States to capture a first-place finish in the group.

It is the first Mexico win against the United States since 2010, a span of 16 matches. The two goals also snap a streak of 33 straight matches in which the U.S. had kept a clean sheet in Concacaf competition.

Both teams went all in for this final group stage match, wanting to get on top early on. FW Sophia Smith tried to give the USWNT an early lead in the 7’, controlling the ball until the box and shooting for goal, but Mexico GK Esthefanny Barreras was ready to stop it.

Mexico responded fast with a free kick in the 14’ taken by FW Maria Sanchez, but U.S. GK Alyssa Naeher stopped her efforts.

Mexico took a 1-0 lead in the 38’ in breathtaking fashion, as U.S. DF Becky Sauerbrunn misplayed a clearance deep in her own half, allowing Mexico’s FW Jaqueline Ovalle to take advantage and control the ball just inside the área. Ovalle got past Naeher before chipping over two defenders into the back of the net.

Karla Nieto nearly made it two right before intermission with a shot from outside the área that struck the crossbar.

The U.S. tried to get back on even terms in the 56’ from a free kick after Mexican DF Greta Espinoza fouled Captain and MF Lindsey Horan outside the box, only to see Horan’s shot sail over the crossbar.

The USWNT didn’t stop trying, though, with FW Trinity Rodman hooking a shot just wide in the 89’.

Finally, in the dying minutes of the game in the 90’+5, FW Mayra Pelayo closed the Mexican win with a banger from outside the box that landed in the top right corner, giving Mexico a historic win that they will never forget.
