The USMNT beat chief rival Mexico 2-0 — or dos a cero — in Sunday’s Nations League final to win the trophy for the third straight time.
The U.S. men's national team is the king of Concacaf once again. The USMNT beat its chief rival Mexico 2-0 — or dos a cero — in Sunday's Nations League final to win the trophy for the third straight time. Tyler Adams, who was making his first start for his country since the 2022 World Cup, scored a screamer just before halftime, and Gio Reyna doubled the hosts' advantage with just under a half-hour of regular time remaining.
Captain Christian Pulisic started the play when he danced past an El Tri defender on the end line. The ball bounced around the penalty area before being cleared, but only as far as Reyna just inside the top of the area. The 21-year-old hit a first time shot that beat Ochoa inside his near post, producing the famous scoreline that stood up as the final result. 'I told Christian to play it quick, and he did,' Reyna said. 'He obviously did very well to beat his guy and get the cross in.
