USA beats Mexico 2-0, remains the only CONCACAF team to win a Nations League title
Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna scored the goals.
Tyler Adams scored from about 35 yards in his first start in more than a year for club or country, Gio Reyna added a second-half goal and the United States beat Mexico 2-0 on Sunday night for its third straight CONCACAF Nations League title.
Adams put the U.S. ahead in the 45th minute when he received a pass from Weston McKennie, took a touch and curled a shot that just eluded the right hand of diving goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
Reyna added a 63rd-minute goal following a pair of extra-time assists in Thursday's semifinal win over Jamaica.
The United States stretched its unbeaten streak against Mexico to seven games since a September 2019 defeat, including five wins.
The match was suspended twice by Canadian referee Drew Fischer because of homophonic chants among the mostly pro-Mexican crowd of 59,471 at AT&T Stadium. He stopped play in the 88th minute, resumed after a 4 1/2-minute wait, then halted it again six minutes into stoppage time. Play restarted 1 1/2 minutes later.
Last year's Nations League semifinal in Las Vegas was ended about four minutes early because of chants from Mexican fans, who for years have directed a slur at opposing teams' goalkeepers.
