- Mexico 0-2 USA
- Americans claim third Concacaf Champions League title
- USMNT now unbeaten in seven games against Mexico
Tyler Adams scored with a brilliant long-range strike in his first start in more than a year for club or country, Gio Reyna added a second-half goal and the United States beat Mexico 2-0 on Sunday night for their third straight Concacaf Nations League title.
Adams put the US ahead in the 45th minute when he received a pass from Weston McKennie, took a touch and curled a shot that eluded the right hand of diving goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
Reyna added a 63rd-minute goal to follow up his pair of extra-time assists in Thursday’s semi-final win over Jamaica.
The United States stretched their unbeaten streak against Mexico to seven games since a September 2019 defeat. That run includes five victories.
The match was halted twice by Canadian referee Drew Fischer because of homophonic chants among the mostly pro-Mexican crowd of 59,471 at AT&T Stadium. Last year’s Nations League semifinal in Las Vegas was ended about four minutes early because of chants from Mexican fans, who for years have directed a slur at opposing teams’ goalkeepers.
Troubled by a right hamstring injury that twice required surgery, Adams had not played for the US since the 2022 World Cup before entering in the 63rd minute of Thursday’s game.
He was limited to a single 21-minute club appearance between 11 March 2023, and this past 13 March, when he returned from the injury with a 20-minute stretch for Bournemouth against Luton in the Premier League.
