HOUSTON - Mexico defeated the United States 2-1 in Houston, Texas, on July 6 to retain their Concacaf Gold Cup crown and capture their 10th title in a pulsating final that delivered drama from start to finish.
The hosts went ahead just four minutes in, when Sebastian Berhalter's free kick found Chris Richards, whose powerful header struck the underside of the crossbar and cannoned straight down, with the referee confirming the goal was good.
Mexico found the equaliser through Raul Jimenez in the 27th minute, after the striker converted from close range before Edson Alvarez netted a late winner.
"We came from behind and are leaving with the title," said Jimenez, who dedicated his goal to the late Diogo Jota, his former Wolverhampton Wanderers teammate, by holding up a Mexico shirt with the Portuguese forward's name on it.
