Heading from the title and the largest prize list of North American football, Mexico won the tenth Gold Cup in its history, thanks to a stunning victory against the United States (2-1) this Sunday in Houston. It was the West Ham midfielder, Edson Álvarez, who validated this success with a helmet at the 77th minute of play. The goal analyzed and confirmed by the Var. Despite an opening of the early score by Chris Richards, defender of Crystal Palace, the men of Mauricio Pochettino rarely showed themselves dangerous during the meeting. The Mexicans equalized shortly before half an hour of play by the center-center Raúl Jiménez, launched in depth by Marcel Ruíz (27th).
Diogo Jota, who died last Thursday with his brother in a road accident, was not forgotten during the meeting. Portuguese teammate when they both played in Wolverhampton between 2018 and 2020, the Mexican scorer paid tribute to him with a flocked jersey named Jota and the number 20 he wore in Liverpool. “”He was a brilliant teammate for two years at the Wolvesthen remembered Jiménez. We often saw each other, we shared wonderful moments there and we were one of the key players in the good results of the Wolves. It's very hard to learn this news from someone who was so close and a very good friend.»
