The 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup has its two finalists set: Mexico and the United States will face off this Sunday in Houston, battling for the title that will confirm them as the top team in the Confederation. Javier Aguirre’s squad secured their spot in the final by defeating Honduras in the semifinals thanks to Raul Jimenez’s goal.
During the first half, neither team managed to dominate possession or impose their style on the opponent. In that context, Mexico had the clearest chance with a shot from Ruiz that was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Menjivar.
But after halftime, the game changed completely. Mexico quickly found the lead thanks to a great play from Mora, who beat a Honduras defender and delivered a brilliant assist to Jimenez. The Fulham striker, inside the box, finished with a powerful right-footed shot.
After the opener, Aguirre’s team almost doubled the lead through Edson Alvarez, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review for offside. From then on, Mexico controlled the ball and avoided taking risks until the final whistle. Now, they will aim for their second consecutive title this Sunday against the United States.
