U.S. rides second half surge to defeat Mexico 2-0 at TQL Stadium

“Dos a Cero” rang around TQL Stadium by the end as the United States Men’s National Team beat Mexico by the historic scoreline in Ohio once again. After an alternatingly nervy and energetic first half, the Americans scored two second half goals to take the three points and vault to the top of the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying standings.

The game opened like so many U.S.-Mexico tilts, at full speed. The Americans pressed from the opening whistle and put Mexico on the back foot. The United States forced several turnovers as the visitors struggled with the intensity in the first 15 minutes.
