A close call for the U.S. but can’t make anything of it.

Mexico think they’ve scored via the head of captain Edson Alvarez but the flag immediately goes up for offside.

Damion Downs is talking with Pochettino and will come on for Luca de la Torre. Today is Downs’ 21st birthday.

Two potentially beautiful curling goals from both Mexico and the U.S. have just missed the target in the first 10 minutes of the second half.

What a goal! The U.S. goes on top via the head of Chris Richards. Sebastian Berhalter whips in a free kick from way far out and Richards heads it off the bar and bounces in. Great start for the Americans. 1-0 up under five minutes.

The first time the U.S. and Mexico played at NRG Stadium was 22 years ago. The growth of the sport in the city can be traced back to that watershed moment. With the teams playing here again, I looked at the throughline from 2003 to now and beyond.

The U.S. and Mexico will face off Sunday in the Gold Cup final, 22 years after their first meeting at NRG Stadium and less than a year until the start of the World Cup.

The big news for the Mexico is 16-year-old Gilberto Mora has earned the start. Mora didn’t play in any of the group stage games but started in the quarterfinal and the semifinal.

Mauricio Pochettino is going with the same starting lineup for the third straight game. It will be Tim Ream’s 75th cap and No. 50 for Tyler Adams.
