Different fixture, same outcome. Make that 3/3 in favor of the USMNT this year. Just like in their previous meetings, a solid defensive performance and late chances were the key to beating Mexico. Christian Pulisic — the man in the mirror — came off the bench to make a change and make things right. His strike in the 74’ opened the score in what had been a cagey affair, and Weston McKennie made it two just ten minutes later. A dagger. The Dos a Cero chants rained from the stands in Cincinnati until the final whistle. In yet another pivotal match against Mexico, the USMNT came out on top. This time, it was to momentarily claim first place in the qualifier standings. What a sweet year it’s been for the US.
