Mexico Win 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup After Stunning Comeback Against USA
Rana Atef
Mexico's national football team claimed the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup title for the tenth time in its history, after pulling off a thrilling comeback victory over the United States. The final, held in the early hours of Monday at NRG Stadium in Houston, saw Mexico overturn an early deficit to win 2-1.
Chris Richards opened the scoring for the United States in the 4th minute, giving the home side a quick lead. However, Mexico responded with determination and equalized in the 27th minute through Raúl Jiménez.
After scoring, Jiménez celebrated by honoring his late former teammate, Diogo Jota, who recently passed away in a tragic accident. Prior to the match, Jiménez wore a jersey bearing the number 20 and Jota's name, as a tribute to their time together at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where they formed a memorable attacking duo over two seasons in the English Premier League.
Gol de México!!!
De mi Raul Jiménez de toda la vida 💪🏼

Mexico completed their comeback in the 78th minute when Edson Álvarez netted the second goal, securing the victory and the championship title.
The United States lineup included: Matt Freese, Alex Freeman, Chris Richards, Tim Ream, Max Arfsten, Tyler Adams, Luca de la Torre, Sebastian Berhalter, Malik Tillman, Diego Luna, and Patrick Agyemang.
This historic win reinforces Mexico's status as the most successful team in Gold Cup history, now with ten titles to their name. The team is currently led by Javier Aguirre, former head coach of the Egypt national team.
Mexico reached the final after a narrow 1–0 win over Honduras in the semifinals. The victory also served as revenge for Mexico, who had lost to the United States in each of their previous four finals across CONCACAF competitions.
