The Americans won both prior CONCACAF Nations League crowns, beating Mexico 3-2 in extra time in the 2021 inaugural championship match.
Team USA Celebrates during the Concacaf Nation League Finals at AT&T Stadium on March 24, 2024 in Arlington, Texas. Click Thompson/Getty Images/AFP Gio Reyna and Tyler Adams scored as the United States beat Mexico 2-0 in Sunday’s CONCACAF Nations League final, giving the Americans all three titles in the event’s history.
Reyna hoped the “Three-peat” would provide inspiration for competing in Copa America on home soil this summer against South America’s top teams. When the final whistle finally came, the Americans had captured the crown at Arlington, Texas, on the home field of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. “Whenever you don’t achieve something, you have to learn from it,” Mexico manager Jaime Lozano said. “They were better in almost everything, in quality, in pressure, in scoring options. They pressed us well and we couldn’t find solutions.
“I’m excited to be back with this group,” said Adams, who has been plagued by injuries since the World Cup, “I always get up for big games.”Mexico had frustrated the Americans much of the first half, shutting down passing lanes to contain the US attack with a pressuring physical performance.
