Mexico vs USA

CONCACAF Gold Cup Final

Venue: Solider Field, Chicago

Kick-off: 2:00am (BST), Monday 8 July

United States take on Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final as the two old rivals meet at this stage of the competition for the first time in eight years.

USA and Mexico have dominated this competition with six and seven triumphs respectively – Canada are the only side to have squeezed their way into contention since it began in 1991.

A somewhat lacklustre US side came to life in their semi-final victory over Jamaica with Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic scoring twice.

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez meanwhile has scored five times to help El Tri reach this summer’s final.

Mexico are out to wreck what could be a memorable day for the game in the USA, with the women’s team out to retain their World Cup crown when they take on Netherlands in Sunday’s final.

USA will be without first-choice options in DeAndre Yedlin, Tyler Adams and central defender John Brooks, all unavailable due to injury.

Mexico's Javier Hernandez, Carlos Vela, Hector Herrera, Hirving Lozano, Miguel Layun and Jesus Corona are among those unavailable for various reasons with Tata Martino's squad severely under-strength.
