USA vs. Mexico score, result, highlights from CONCACAF Nations League final
USA vs. Mexico never disappoints. And the inaugural CONCACAF Nations League final had it all.
A Christian Pulisic penalty kick goal deep into extra time gave the USA a thrilling 3-2 win over archrivals Mexico. Pulisic, who donned the captain's armband for the match, earned the penalty kick after he was brought down on one of his patented darting runs into the box. The referee went to the monitor to review the play and awarded the late spot kick, which Pulisic stepped up to convert into the top corner.
But it took an incredible penalty kick save from the USA’s backup goalkeeper Ethan Horvath to seal the deal in the dying moments of the match. The referee went to the monitor a second time and this time awarded Mexico a penalty kick. Mexico’s Andres Guardado took the attempt only for Horvath to deny him at full stretch in a dramatic twist.
The USMNT came from behind to equalize twice before taking the lead for good in extra time.
