U.S. beats Mexico during Nations League semifinal halted early due to homophobic chants

LA Times  

United States’ Folarin Balogun battles for the ball with Mexico’s Cesar Montes during the first half of a CONCACAF Nations League semifinal match on Thursday in Las Vegas. But it’s unlikely even that background prepared for him what he experienced Thursday when he made his U.S. national team debut in a 3-0 win over Mexico in a CONCACAF Nations League semifinal that ended with both teams missing multiple players to red cards. The two red cards will leave the U.S., the defending Nations Cup champion, without two starters in Sunday’s final, something captain Christian Pulisic felt could have been avoided. United States’ Christian Pulisic celebrates after scoring against Mexico during the first half of a CONCACAF Nations League semifinal match on Thursday in Las Vegas.
