Robinson’s 117th-minute goal off set piece seals USA victory
The US won their seventh Gold Cup title and first since 2017

Miles Robinson scored on a header in the 117th minute, and a reduced-strength United States lineup upset a mostly front-line Mexico team 1-0 on Sunday night to win the Concacaf Gold Cup.

Kellyn Acosta, the only player in the US lineup who gets playing time when the first-choice roster is together, took a free kick, and Robinson outjumped Edson Alvarez and headed the ball in on one hop to the right of goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera.
