Raul Jimenez scored in the 50th minute off an assist from 16-year-old Gilberto Mora and Mexico advanced to its 12th Concacaf Gold Cup final with a 1-0 victory over Honduras on Wednesday night.
El Tri advanced to play the United States in the final Sunday night in Houston for the eighth meeting in the title game between the two countries with Mexico owning a 5-2 edge. Mexico has won nine Gold Cups, the U.S. seven and Canada one.
Mexico broke through early in the second half on a play started by Alexis Vega with a pass to Mora near the top of the box. Mora slid a pass to Jiménez, who beat Edrick Menjivar with a right-footed shot for his 42nd career international goal.

No. 17 ranked Mexico appeared to add to that lead a few minutes later when Edson Alvarez tapped in a goal off a set piece but that was negated when video review ruled he was offside.
But Mexico managed to hold onto that lead as 75th-ranked Honduras was unable to generate an equalizer.
Honduras reached this stage for the first time since 2013 despite losing the opener of the tournament 6-0 to Canada. The Hondurans haven’t made the final since the inaugural tournament in 1991 when they lost in penalty kicks to the U.S.
There were few good chances in the first half with Mexican goalie Luis Malagon making an easy save on Dixon Ramirez’s shot from outside the box after not facing any shots on goal the past two games.
Mexico had two good opportunities late in the half. Johan Vasquez’s shot in the box deflected off Honduran defender Denil Maldonado and right into the hands of goalie Menjívar.
Menjívar then made a sharp save against Marcel Ruiz in the 42nd minute and Julian Martinez cleared the rebound out of danger.
There was a chippy moment in the 11th minute when a ball was played into the Mexico bench area. Romell Quioto aggressively tried to get the ball for Honduras and Mexican reserve Guillermo Ochoa took exception, leading to players on both teams getting heated and a yellow card for Ochoa.

Zinho esquece Vanderlan e sugere duas mudanças no Palmeiras contra o Chelsea no Mundial: “Quero o Estêvão livre”
Zinho durante debate na ESPN - Reprodução/YouTubeO Palmeiras titular contra o Chelsea na Copa do Mundo de Clubes ainda é um mistério. Sem Piquerez, suspenso pelo acúmulo de cartões, a tendência é que Vanderlan seja o substituto. Zinho, porém, não iniciaria com o jovem lateral pela falta de experiência em um jogo grande e também pelo pouco combate defensivo. Segundo o tetra, nem mesmo o esquema tático manteria.

Česko přivítá ambiciózního soupeře, který na MS skolil zlatou Argentinu
Byl to před dvěma a půl lety obrovský šok. Argentina vedená hvězdným Lionelem Messim zahájila MS v Kataru senzační porážkou 1:2 právě se Saúdskou Arábií. Od té doby ale Jihoameričané ani jednou nezaváhali a dokráčeli si až pro zlato.Naopak země z Blízkého východu následně padla s Polskem i Mexikem a turnaj pro ni skončil už po základní skupině. Na podzim výběr francouzského kouče Hervého Renarda drazí do Česka, konkrétně do nové Malšovické arény v Hradci Králové.„Utkání nám přinese možnost konfrontace s odlišným stylem hry. Jedná se o ambiciózní mužstvo, které dokázalo na posledním mistrovství světa porazit Argentinu,“ připomíná trenér Ivan Hašek, jenž v minulosti v Saúdské Arábii působil, stejně jako nový generální manažere reprezentace Pavel Nedvěd.Jak bylo zmíněno, duel se uskuteční v pondělí 8. září, detaily o času výkopu a prodeji vstupenek budou ještě upřesněny. Národní tým sehraje o tři dny dříve důležité klání kvalifikace na MS 2026 v Podgorici proti Černé Hoře.Tým kolem kapitána Tomáše Součka vstoupil do kvalifikace […]
2025 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest: How to watch, plus what to know about Joey Chestnut’s return
The Fourth of July is fast approaching, and you know what that means: It's time for fireworks, barbecue and tuning in to watch Joey "Jaws" Chestnut scarf down upwards of 70 hot dogs (and buns!) in 10 minutes. Chestnut is returning to compete at the 2025 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. The long-reigning champ was banned in 2024 after signing an endorsement deal with Nathan's competitor Impossible Foods. But this Friday, Chestnut returns to compete at Coney Island.Chestnut will aim to beat his world record of 76 dogs and buns. He'll face 2024 men's champion and No. 2-ranked eater Patrick Bertoletti, No. 3 Geoffrey Esper, No. 4 James Webb and No. 6 Nick Wehry. On the women's side, Miko Sudo remains the reigning champ, with a personal best of 51 hot dogs and buns set last year. Will she set […]
Skromný kluk obětí tragédie. Fotbalový svět vzpomíná na zesnulého Jotu
Fotogalerie„Nedává to smysl. Teď jsme spolu hráli za nároďák, před pár dny ses oženil. Upřímnou soustrast tvé ženě, rodině i dětem. Vím, že na ně budeš shora dohlížet. Budete nám chybět. Ty i tvůj bratr André,“ vyťukal na instagram jeden z nejlepších fotbalistů historie a Jotův parťák z reprezentace Cristiano Ronaldo.Nehodu totiž nepřežil ani Jotův o tři roky mladší bratr, jenž kopal druhou ligu za portugalský Penafiel. I proto tragédie ohromně zasáhla Porto. Oba sourozenci prošli mládežnickými celky klubu, řada zaměstnanců a bývalých hráčů je velmi dobře znala. Starší Jota si zahrál i za A-tým. „Truchlíme. V šoku a hlubokém zármutku vyjadřujeme upřímnou soustrast rodině i přátelům.“„Strašné. Diogo byl skromný, tichý kluk. Rozhodně ne člověk, kterého byste si představili jako typického profesionálního fotbalistu z Premier League. I když to je teď vedlejší. Myslím na jeho rodinu, přátele, manželku a tři malé děti,“ soukala ze sebe legenda Liverpoolu Jamie Carragher.Reagoval samozřejmě i samotný klub. „Jsme zničení tragickým […]
2026 NFL Draft: Oklahoma’s R Mason Thomas is an early scouting standout
A slow start gave way to solid production: Thomas recorded just one pressure through his first two games in 2024, before putting it all together and logging 33 pressures the rest of the way. Thomas' measurables don't limit his versatility: His 6-foot-2, 250-pound frame may seem like it would pigeonhole him into a stand-up outside linebacker role, but he also produces with his hand in the dirt pre-snap.
