A number of questionable decisions went against the United States men's national team during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Mexico in the Gold Cup final, including what appeared to be a handball by Mexican defender Jorge Sánchez that wasn't called.

The USMNT once again scored early but this time were unable to hold on as Mexico came back to win the Gold Cup Final 2-1 on Sunday night. Chris Richards opened the scoring just four minutes into the match after Patrick Agyemang, who was hacked all night, won a free kick which Sebastian Berhalter served up and Richards headed in.

The 2025 Gold Cup final, contested between the United States Men’s National Team and Mexico on Sunday, was already set to be a blockbuster affair. The two teams sold out 70,000+ seats at Houston’s NRG stadium and pulled one of the biggest soccer television audiences of the year thus far.
