ARLINGTON, Tex. — The U.S.-Mexico men’s soccer rivalry is a spectacle, whether it’s a World Cup qualifier, a Gold Cup showdown, a random friendly or, in the case of Sunday’s tempest before 59,471 at AT&T Stadium, a Concacaf Nations League final.

When a trophy is at stake — and accompanying regional bragging rights — the clashes swell with ferocity and tension. The latest chapter uncoiled with the usual vim and vigor, and in moments that will enter series lore, Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna scored breathtaking goals as the United States roared to a 2-0 victory for its third consecutive tournament title.
