Update narration

The USMNT were extremely close to not making it to the CONCACAF Nations League final. Jamaica took a lead 31 seconds into their semi-final game and led for almost all of regulation. It took until the literal final second of the match for the U.S. to tie the game at 1-1 through an own goal.

In extra time, USA overwhelmed Jamaica, with Haji Wright scoring twice and sending the U.S. to their third Nations League final in three tries.

For Mexico, it was smooth sailing in the semi-finals. It took a little while, but El Tri struck twice right before halftime, with Edson Alvarez and Julian Quiñones getting on the scoresheet.

In the second half, Orbelin Pineda put the game well out of reach with a beautiful chip in the 67th minute.

USA vs Mexico head-to-head history

This will be the 76th meeting between the two North American nations in their history. Mexico have a large edge in the all-time series, winning 36 meetings and losing 17 of them. But since 2000, it's been a completely different story.

Since the turn of the century, the USMNT have a 18-9-8 series lead. They are also on a six-game unbeaten streak against Mexico, winning four of those matchups. It's the longest unbeaten run against Mexico since 2015.
