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.

United States vs Haiti

The day started with defending champions the United States punching their Under-17 Women’s World Cup ticket thanks to a 7-1 victory against Haiti. With the win, the U.S. have qualified for their sixth U17 Women’s World Cup.

The U.S. got things rolling in the 24’ through Mya Townes, who received a pass from Melanie Barcenas and finished for a 1-0 lead. It was then 2-0 at halftime as Kennedy Fuller scored off a cross from Alexandra Pfeiffer in the 40’ to double the margin.

Fuller then scored her eighth goal of the tournament in the 47’ with a smooth right-footed stroke into net, extending the U.S. lead to 3-0. Pfeiffer added her name to the scoresheet in the 59’ when she hauled in a long ball from Katie Scott and scored to make it 4-0.

Haiti never stopped fighting, though, and star striker Lourdjina Etienne notched her seventh goal of the tournament with a penalty conversion in the 80’, cutting the deficit to 4-1.

However, the day belonged to the U.S., who finished in strong fashion thanks to a hat-trick in six minutes from Kimmie Ascanio.

Ascanio found the top right cornet of net for her first score in the 83’, followed two minutes later by her second in the 85’ off a cross from Scott. The trio of goals and 7-1 final scoreline was then completed in the 88’ when she pounced on a rebound off the post and calmly tucked away a Left-footed shot.

Mexico vs Canada

A goal in extra time from Vanessa Aguilar earned Mexico a dramatic 2-1 win against Canada in the day’s second semifinal, earning Mexico their seventh U17 Women’s World Cup appearance.

Mexico were first to find the breakthrough, as a Right-footed strike from Carla Montes Frias off a deflection from just outside the area in the 25’ resulted in a 1-0 lead for the host nation.

Canada looked to respond by playing into dangerous striker Annabelle Chukwu, but there was no way past the Mexican defense and GK Camila Vazquez, who made back-to-back saves in the 74’ to keep her side ahead.

But there was nothing Vazquez could do just a minute later in the 75’ when Chukwu received a ball and unleashed a right-footed shot that beat Vazquez at the near post to even things at 1-1.

Matters had to be resolved in extra time and Mexico would emerge with the decisive strike in the 101’, as Aguilar followed up her initial blocked shot with a fine finish from an acute angle to deliver the 2-1 victory for El Tricolor.
