USMNT 2, Mexico 0: Tyler Adams, Gio Reyna score in Nations League final halted by homophobic chant
New York TimesThe United States men’s national team has won its third straight CONCACAF Nations League final with a 2-0 win over Mexico at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex. Tyler Adams opened the scoring just before halftime with a long-range thunderbolt on his first start for the U.S. in about a year and a half, while Gio Reyna added the United States’ second after providing two assists in the semifinal vs. Jamaica. 💥🚀🔥 pic.twitter.com/ZrK7PoxCST — CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ March 25, 2024 Even before his golazo, Adams had made his presence felt in the middle of the field, closing down opposing defensive midfielder Edson Alvarez when the West Ham United player got on the ball with time and dropped back to help the U.S. pass out of pressure when Mexico forward Henry Martin was trying to win the ball off the American center backs. The majority of Reyna’s touches in the first half came well away from the attacking third, and the decision to play him in that role prompted some criticism at halftime from the CBS analysts, including Marsch, who was a candidate for the U.S. coaching position last year, and former U.S. forward Charlie Davies.
