According to information from The Associated Press, this is the second time that the Mexican Women’s National Team has defeated the US team.

The USA came to the Dignity Health Sports Park (home of the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS) with a record of 40-1-1 against their regional rival, with their only previous defeat being a 2-1 loss during World Cup qualification in 2010.

It was the first loss for the USA under interim coach Twila Kilgore, who took over the team after the dramatic exit from the World Cup last summer in the round of 16.

Mexico finished as the leader of Group A in the W Gold Cup, while the USA finished second. Both teams advance to the knockout round.

Two great goals from Mexico

Lizbeth Ovalle, a Tigres player, put Mexico ahead in the 28th minute. Becky Sauerbrunn attempted to clear a ball, but it rebounded to Ovalle, who controlled it and sent a floated shot over goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher and two American defenders.

It was the first goal allowed by the United States against a CONCACAF opponent in 33 matches.

Mexico came close to scoring the second goal in added time of the first half, but Karla Nieto’s long-distance shot hit the crossbar.

Pelayo scored the second goal in added time of the second half, and the Mexican players celebrated extensively on the field.

Mexico and the US, the eternal rivalry

According to information from Concacaf, this is the 43rd time that Mexico and the USA have faced each other on the field, with an overall record of 40 wins for the United States, 1 draw, and 1 loss.

The United States also holds a record of 7 wins, 0 draws, and 1 loss in the history of Concacaf tournaments.

The only victory for El Tricolor occurred in 2010, a 2-1 win in the semifinals of the Concacaf Women’s Championship in Cancun, Mexico.

The USWNT has shown why they hold the title of the CWC and why they want to become the first champions of the W Gold Cup.

USA beat Argentina

Jaedyn Shaw scored a brace as the USA took a three-goal lead in the first 20 minutes before comfortably cruising to a 4-0 victory over Argentina in the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup on Friday.

With this win, the USA maintained their position at the top of Group A, with six points and a comfortable goal difference of plus nine.

Mexico, on the other hand, secured the second spot in the group, reaching four points after overwhelming the Dominican Republic 8-0 in the first match of the day.

Nineteen-year-old Shaw found the net in the 10th and 18th minutes, while veteran Alex Morgan added the third goal with a header in the 19th minute. Lindsey Horan converted a penalty in the 77th minute.

Jaedyn Shaw, a sensation with the US

Shaw became the youngest player to score three goals in her first six appearances for the national team.

She is also the fifth youngest footballer to score in an official match for the US national team.

Morgan started the match after stepping in as an emergency replacement for Mia Fishel, who suffered a right knee ligament injury during practice.

Morgan, who typically wears the number 13, now wears Fishel’s number 7, in compliance with CONCACAF rules.

The Mexican National Team had won 8 to 0

Mexico, who had settled for a goalless draw against Argentina in the first match, found the net abundantly on Friday. They went into halftime with a commanding 6-0 lead.

Nicolette Hernández opened the scoring in the 12th minute, followed by Lizbeth Ovalle extending the lead with a curled shot in the 14th, seven minutes before Karen Luna scored with a header.

Ovalle converted a penalty in the 27th minute to secure her brace. Rebeca Bernal scored in the 44th minute, Diana Ordóñez added another in the fourth minute of stoppage time in the first half, Jasmine Casárez found the net in the 70th minute, and Mayra Pelayo Bernal scored the eighth goal in injury time.

Argentina earned a point, while the Dominican Republic remained at the bottom with no points and a chilling goal difference of minus 13.
