Mexico beat the United States 2-0 in a contentious final of the Concacaf Under-20 Championship at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The United States went behind in the 29th minute, and the comeback became more complicated after center back Chris Applewhite received a red card just before halftime. Mexico proceeded to win its three knockout fixtures by a combined score of 8-1. They finished with 58 percent possession and five shots on goal to zero for the United States. The American tandem combined to score seven goals in the tournament but were silent at the Azteca.
