USA vs Mexico - ALL GOALS & Highlights | FIFA International Friendly 2026

U.S. Soccer on TNT is presented by Volkswagen. Tonight, two rivals collide in the desert. Two nations that both exited their home World Cup in the summer at the same stage in the round of 16. And both beginning a new cycle with new faces and new opportunities. Luke, we've seen a ton of positives during two four-goal performances against Peru and Chile. But also some defensive improvements that are theirs. This opportunity now, when we think about after Nations League, Gold Cup final wins, it's Mexico looking to give Rafa Marquez his first win to start his tenure as Mexico manager. But what an opportunity it is for the young guys. Julian Hall, Kevin Sullivan in particular. Mexico coming into this one, having drawn both of their games in this international window. 1-1 draw against Peru. A 2-2 tie against Colombia. Julian Hall has two goals in his first two starts. And two appearances. And tonight, Kevin Sullivan becomes the youngest U.S. Mets national team player to start a game against Mexico. So here we go. Mouth, water and match in prospect. Between these two conquer cap heavyweights. Mexico ranked 10th in the world. The U.S. ranked 16th. And we are underway here. Julian Hall up top. 18 years old. Having made a huge impact so far. Early days of his U.S. Mets national team career. Anthony Roberts away. Tillman in the midfield. And how to play. It's a hectic, frantic start to this one. Well, the reality is that Mauricio Pochettino's side knows that maybe some of the mistakes that they made against Chile, Mexico will punish. And it's moments like that from Luis Romo, the number seven, that makes them so dangerous. Two countries. And the U.S. unbeaten in the previous three. Robinson doesn't really have a lot of hope. He's the furthest player forward. And pins the ear and just tries to run at the defenders. Keep them on their heels. And what's impressive in these moments, sad fools. You can see the definitive trigger. And it usually starts with Santi Jimenez. And the moment that he indicates he's going, you can see four players from Mexico right underneath his shoulders. ...is just as valuable as Golazos. Good patience. Up and over the top from Sebastian Berhalter. Finds Alex Freeman. Watch the run from Gio Reyna. That ball is magnificent to reward the run from Reyna. Now, it's not the greatest cross, but Reyna can't handle it. The goalkeeper, he's caught worrying about that ball, beating him at the near post. As it comes across, he's got to do better. And I don't know if it's a miscommunication with Campeo, but the goalkeeper in the center back. Gelotes, he waits. He's rewarded. And a huge goal. His third in three successive matches. And the 18-year-old, once again, finding the back of the net. Individual marking responsibility for the U.S. With the outswinger, and it's skipped all the way through. That shot from Campeo blocks a pennant. Yeah, we call it a professional foul. We call it a tactical foul. Either way, it's certainly a yellow. The recognition of a moment of a transition opportunity. Tug of the jersey. Two hands go down. Simple decision for the referee. You mentioned earlier the fourth official was being worked pretty heavily by Rafa Marquez. Rafa Marquez right in the ear of the official there once more. Touch with the outside of his right foot. He's already anticipated well. Two minutes of the half, and Jimenez couldn't convert. Well, we saw a great opportunity in the opening segment. First five minutes for Mexico to find the back of the net. This time, reaction time just a bit slow. It's a hopeful ball and a team. Mexico have scored in their last 11. That's the second, potentially third yellow that the referee should have shown to find control of this match. Orbeli Peneda. Little skip, little lift. First time with the right. Second time with the left. And draws the foul of Berhalter. This is where he operates. He's got a wand of a left foot. He's just sitting looking for scraps. And as this ball pops out, he might not have scored at the World Cup, but he had three assists in five matches. He's one of the most dynamic. He started that game in Orlando where Ellis scored in his home stadium a week ago. U.S. now. Israel Reyes, the player that Gio Reyna had two hands of the jersey a few moments ago. Tyler gets caught, leaves his right leg up. I would assume that's what the referee was looking at when he blew the whistle and decided to show yellow to Tyler Adams. Luis Chavez standing over this. The feathers forward this time headed away. He introduces himself on the international stage with a goal of some quality. End result is a special, special moment for a special, special player. But he's got to find himself in that moment to create an opportunity like this. If he doesn't have the recognition of the pressure in the moment to continue with that press, that mistake from the goalkeeper. The second mistake for Rangel who had four clean sheets in five matches at the World Cup for Mexico. Preferred dominant left foot. It's a special one. Kevin Sullivan has recognized as the goalkeeper stranded. He's got the goal at his mercy and he just delicately lifts it. Nothing Rangel can do about it and Kevin Sullivan. Statement win. He hasn't had a win at all after draws against both Colombia and Peru. Although Peru was massive adjustments and massive changes giving the weaker side of his roster an opportunity. But this is quite the statement for the US men's national team and exactly what Mauricio Pochettino and company were looking for. Chavez just put hands down. Mauricio Pochettino is on the pitch trying to help break things up here. I think it's Mateo Chavez. He's trying to argue his innocence. The foul itself is one thing. Berhalter comes across. He gets in the face. He's shown yellow for his involvement in the play. But Chavez hands into the face. Referee does not hesitate. He goes back pocket. And Mateo Chavez's night is over even though he tries to plead his innocence. He comes through the plant leg of Yunus Musa. He's unhappy. And Sebastian Berhalter. Two hands to the chest but watch the reaction of Chavez. I've been in this situation, Luke. It's red mist. You don't even realize it that you have this cross. That's the reaction. It's quick little slap to the face. Referee clearly sees it from his referee cam and his angle. Process. Up a man. Up 2-0. Dosaceto in the United States here in Arizona. How do they manage this next 15 minutes? And we know he's got it in his game. We saw it at the World Cup. And what an evolution, this young man. A player that has the same physical kind of categories as we see from Anthony Robinson. Chops that ball back. Let's take a look at our all-state moments of the match. And there are two of them today. Oh, Gio Reyna makes a great run. Rewarded by Alex Freeman. Puts the ball in a dangerous spot. Not great goalkeeping. Right place, right time. Julian Hall cleans it up. That gave the U.S. the 1-0 lead in the 28th minute. And then this ball, it's fantastic. Highlight reel type of first goal for the U.S. men's national team. But not for a second should we dismiss his defensive work ethic. It's Tillman scoring the third for the United States. This win is wrapped up in some style. Convincing victory for the United States here against Mexico and Glendale. Well, he's been dynamic in his movements. The 24-year-old last summer in the Gold Cup was really the breakout moment for him to solidify himself in that creative number 10-ish type of spot. Scored from the penalty spot against Peru. Again, it's the pressure similar to Calvin Sullivan. Huge mistake on not only the way to the back pass, but the defender itself, Campillo. Watch the way he flares. This ball comes across. Really unnecessary way to the pass. He jumps all over and out sprints the defender and beats the goalkeeper at the near post. A fantastic finish from Tillman. And really the statement of this 3-0 lead against Mexico. Malik Tillman's seventh international goal and his fourth goal in his last five games. Self-inflicted once again from Mexico. His range is outstanding, Jedi Robinson. Whether it's flying forward down that left-hand side or it's these recovery runs. Miller's ball forward. Oh, straight to the keeper from Justin Ellis. Matias Albert was to the left. He wanted it played in. Well, he had to absolute starter on this right-hand side. Another fantastic performance from Alex Freeman. The final whistle goes. And what a night for Mauricio Pochettino's United States side, who beat Mexico by three goals to nil. Cavan Sullivan becoming the US men's national team's youngest ever goal scorer. Julian Hall started it all with his third goal in as many games. A clean sheet for Diego Cochin on his first start for this team. So many positives for the US tonight as they get the victory against Mexico. Three wins in a row for the US in this window. Peru, Chile, and now Mexico, with Canada still to come on Tuesday.
