Thanks to its brilliance, and in the face of a very strong opponent, Mexico taught the United States a lesson in the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup with a 2-0 victory at the end of the group stage.

With the participation of Greta Espinosa from Tijuana, who stood in the defensive zone to contain the striker like Alex Morgan, and with Mayra Pelayo, California from Xolos de Tijuana, with a wonderful goal to complete Mexico's second historic victory over the United States.

It was a team effort, with almost complete control. The United States came close, but was never in real danger; Rather, the North American team ended up desperate against a Mexican team that passed them in one of the best matches that Mexico played in its entire history.

Lisbeth Ovalle scored one of the goals that seems destined for the Gold Cups, first it was Gio dos Santos' goal more than a decade ago, and now the Tigres striker has scored a stunning first-half goal.
