What's at Stake

Mexico is aiming for their second trophy of 2025, having already won the Concacaf Nations League back in March. They also seek to defend their Gold Cup title. The USMNT, under Mauricio Pochettino, looks to secure their eighth Gold Cup title. A victory would close the gap on Mexico, who currently hold a record nine Gold Cups.

Team News and Players to Watch

Diego Luna has been a standout player for the USMNT throughout the Gold Cup tournament, scoring three goals and providing two assists. Malik Tillman has also been a key contributor with three goals and two assists. For Mexico, Raul Jimenez has scored twice in the tournament. Center back Cesar Montes has also been a key player, scoring three goals during the group stage.

The USMNT had a shaky start to their campaign with back-to-back friendly defeats, but have since won five straight matches. This tournament has provided an opportunity for younger players to showcase their talents and potentially earn a spot in the 2026 World Cup squad.

Prediction

A tight contest is expected, as often happens in finals. Three of the previous eight finals have ended with a 1-0 scoreline, including the last two in 2019 and 2021. A first trophy for Mauricio Pochettino as USMNT boss is on the line. One prediction is a 1-0 victory for the USA.
