Concacaf Gold Cup: Mexico Beats USWNT (2-0) for 1st Time Since 2010

The U.S. Women’s National Team lost 2-0 against Mexico last night in Los Angeles for the third and final match of the Concacaf Gold Cup group stage. No big deal? Think again. It’s the first time Mexico has toppled the USWNT since 2010, and only the second time ever in 43 meetings. Mexico entered Monday 1-1-40 against the U.S. all-time, but they were up to the task against a makeshift U.S. roster with an interim manager. Lizbeth Ovalle put La Tri on the scoreboard in the 38th minute. The U.S. scratched and clawed for opportunities, but to no avail. Mayra Pelayo-Bernal (90+2’) added an insurance goal in stoppage time to secure an upset for the ages.

Group A (Final Standings)

1. Mexico (2-1-0) — (7 points)

2. USA (2-0-1) — (6 points)

3. Argentina (1-1-1) — (4 points)

4. Dominican Republic (0-0-3) — (0 points)
