The Mexico team confirmed the status of the strongest national team. The Mexicans won the US with a score of 2: 1 in the finale of the Golden Cup of Concacaf in 2025. The match took place on the night of July 7 at the NRG Stadium stadium in Houston in front of a 70,000th audience.

The Americans were the first to open the score in the 4th minute-Chris Richards locked her canopy from Sebastian Berhalter with his head. However, Raul Himenes in the 27th minute with a powerful blow leveled the score, celebrating a goal with an emotional tribute to the memory of the dead Diogh.

The winning ball was scored by Edson Alvarez in the 77th minute after watching Var. His goal was initially canceled through an offside, but the video repetition confirmed that the US defender had not stood the line. This take of the gate brought Mexico the tenth title of the Golden Cup – a record in the history of the tournament.

“This is an additional impetus to the world championship. We knew what we wanted, and we got it,” said Himenes, who scored his 42nd goal for the national team.

This is the sixth victory of Mexico over the US in the eight finals of the Golden Cup. There are three titles more than Americans.

It should be noted that Guatemala and Honduras received the status of a bronze medalist, since there is no match for the third place within the golden cup of the Concacaf Cup.

“These were 35 days without a family. But we fought, we deserved this trophy,” said emotional captain Edon Alvarez after the finals.

The 2025 finals also made history thanks to Hilberto More, who at the age of 16 and 265 became the youngest player who had ever been launched for the final of the Great International Tournament among Adults. The young midfielder Tijuana spent 75 minutes and left a positive impression.

Mora exceeded the record of Lamin Yamal (17 years in the Euro-2024 finals) and even the legendary Pele, which was 17 years old and 249 days during the Final of the World Cup-1958.

Recall that the 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada and Mexico.
