Pulisic’s extra-time winner seals Nations League title for USA over Mexico

  • Concacaf Nations League final: USMNT 3-2 Mexico (aet)
  • US battle back to claim title after El Tri’s early opener
  • Thrilling match marred by objects thrown at players

Christian Pulisic converted a penalty in the 114th minute, back-up goalkeeper Ethan Horvath stopped Andres Guardado’s spot kick in the final seconds and the United States overcame an early defensive blunder to beat Mexico 3-2 on Sunday night in a final of the first Concacaf Nations League that turned on three video reviews.

Gio Reyna and Weston McKennie scored as the US twice overcame deficits against Mexico, who led after just 63 seconds.
