- Americans can clinch World Cup place against Panama
- Mexico 0-0 USA: Bryan Graham’s minute-by-minute report
Concacaf’s fiercest rivals took center stage in Mexico City on Thursday to launch their final campaign for World Cup qualification. With three matches remaining, tied on points and a pair of nations at their heels, Mexico and the United States played for more than just qualification.
For Mexico, they played for redemption of a beleaguered federation beset with controversy, eager for victory against the border rival they’ve lost to three times in a row. The US played in the shadow of failed qualification for the 2018 tournament, determined not to repeat the mistake, confident in the talent they have in their ranks now.
