USA and Mexico to vie for gold

The CONCACAF sides stay perfect and head to the Visit Puerto Vallarta Cup decider having won all their games

Mexico and USA will contest for the Visit Puerto Vallarta Cup tomorrow, following their wins today over France and Colombia that keep them unbeaten in the competition. 

Whereas USA lead a consistent win over Colombia, the game between Mexico and France was not decided until the last minute of the game, thanks to Maldonado’s winner for the Azteca. 

After securing an easy 2-0 lead in the first stages of the game, things seemed to point to a comfortable win for the hosts, but Victor Angeletti, with three goals became the Mexican worst nightmare today. 

Fortunately for Raya’s lads, the braces by Maldonado and Samano were ready to counteract that and give Mexico three more points. 

Instead, USA’s momentum at the Visit Puerto Vallarta Cup seems far from over, as the North Americans proved once again today, with a new consistent win over Colombia. 

Farberoff’s lads managed to control the match all throughout, not even letting Colombia think about an eventual comeback. Since the very first stages, when Roque swept USA ahead, things seemed pretty under control for the Stars and Stripes.

Ortega tried to lead Colombia’s reaction, with two goals, but that would be not enough to make USA stumble
