USMNT outlast Mexico in unforgettable CONCACAF Nations League thriller

Christian Pulisic and Ethan Horvath proved to be the heroes as the U.S. took down their local rivals

The U.S. men's national team took down rivals Mexico in the first-ever CONCACAF Nations League finale as Christian Pulisic buried a 114th-minute penalty before Ethan Horvath saved one of his own in the 120th minute to earn the U.S. their first trophy since the 2017 Gold Cup.

Pulisic's spot-kick in extra time served as the big moment of what was a typically chaotic clash between the two eternal rivals, with head coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino sent off to go with several crowd issues throughout the match.
