Mexico defeated the United States Men’s National Team by a score of 2-1 on Sunday to win the nation’s 10th CONCACAF Gold Cup trophy as the champions of North America, Central America and the Caribbean.

For 23 fleeting minutes, the USMNT was atop CONCACAF. But it succumbed to a Mexican comeback, and, in the end, a better team. So it settled for second place at the Gold Cup.
