The Mexican team, led by the Argentine Gerardo Martino, fell in the final of the Gold Cup against the United States 1-0 in the overtime, Miles Robinson gave the victory to the American team in an agonizing way in the 117th minute. Mexico repeated a defeat against the same adversary, as happened almost two months ago in Denver, when the local team won the final of the Concacaf Nations League, after winning 3-2, also in overtime.

The team led by Gregg Berhalter, made up of a majority of youth and footballers who are active at the local level, won the duel at the Allegiant Stadium, with a saving header from Robinson. With this defeat, the Argentine coach lost five of the six finals he played at the national level.

He fell in the 2011, 2015 and 2016 Copa América, the first with Paraguay and the remaining two with Argentina; the 2021 Nations League against the United States, and now he missed the Gold Cup. The "Tata" Martno as coach, only triumphed in the definition of the 2019 Gold Cup, against the same rival.
