The CONCACAF Gold Cup features a potentially exhilarating final this weekend as Mexico take on the USA at the Allegiant Stadium on Sunday. The two soccer heavyweights have been impressive this month and will be intent on lifting the trophy this weekend.
Mexico have been impressive in the Gold Cup and have a host of young talents in their ranks. El Tri needed a late stoppage-time winner to get the better of Canada in the semi-finals and will need to be at their best in this fixture.
The USA also needed a late goal to reach the finals and did well to overcome a commendable challenge from Qatar earlier this week. The Stars and Stripes are one of the favourites to win the Gold Cup and have a point to prove in this game.
