Asian champions lose 1-0 to the US, while Mexico edge out Canada in a match briefly stopped due to homophobic chants.
Gyasi Zardes scored in the 86th minute as the United States beat Qatar 1-0 to reach the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup where they will take on Mexico who beat Canada in the other semi-final. Zardes replaced Daryl Dike in the 63rd minute and combined with two other second-half subs, Nicholas Gioacchini and Eryk Williamson, to score his 14th international goal and second of the tournament on Thursday. The 20th-ranked US matched its record with 13 consecutive home wins and advanced to Sunday night’s final in Las Vegas against defending champions Mexico, which beat Canada 2-1 in Houston.More Related News
