CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025 Award: List Of Winners Ft. Ismael Díaz, Edson Álvarez

Mexico won the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025 trophy for a record 10th time beating the United States on Sunday (6 July) in Houston, Texas.

Defending champions Mexico registered a 2-1 victory to extend its record.

Chris Richards opened the scoring in the fourth minute for the US before Raul Jimenez equalised three minutes to the half-hour.

Alvarez nodded in a 77th-minute winner – which was initially ruled offside but then overturned after a video review.

The USA are yet to win their maiden title.
