Diego Lainez shows promise in first taste of U.S.-Mexico rivalry

Diego Lainez's first start with the Mexico national team is something he'll never forget. Even if the Club America starlet doesn't bloom into a full-blown star during his career, El Tri fans will never forget it either thanks to a pair of incredible moments in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the United States.

The first was when he put Wil Trapp on the ground, shifting past the American midfielder who couldn't keep up with the 18-year-old as he entered the box and then got to the line with a remarkable cut-back.

The second was when Matt Miazga nearly put him on the ground.
