Mexico taught the U.S.A men's soccer team a harsh lesson yesterday, routing them 5-0 in the Gold Cup Finals. The U.S.A using what could be described as no better than a "C" team, were dominated in midfield and attack by number 17 Giovanni Dos-Santos and number 11 Carlos Vela. The U.S.A had no answer to the Mexicans depth touches and speed in attack. The Mexican team also broke several half side traps that left the U.S.A defense to play catch up on several occasions.
Mexico will no doubt go into next month world cup qualifier against the U.S.A not only as favourites but will also have a mental edge over them because of the way they dominated the U.S.A in the Gold Cup Finals.
Below are some highlights of the goals scored in yesterdays final.
