Another Rose Lavelle set piece, another goal. This time it's Michelle Cooper that earns a corner. Lavelle takes it, and Claire Hutton heads it skillfully into the net. USWNT lead 2-0

In tonight's Gold Cup Final, Mexico beat the #USMNT (2-1) for the first time since 2019 in a competitive match. Deserved result for El Tri. They controlled the match throughout after Chris Richards took the early lead. A few notable tournament performances are the summer takeaway

Since Pochettino took over, the #USMNT have played five games against teams in the top 30 of FIFA's rankings, and have lost all five.
