SEATTLE - It was a historic night for Mexico in Los Angeles, as the women's national team took on and defeated the United States, one of the best teams in the world in the women's game. In the last group stage match of the CONCACAF W Gold Cup, Mexico, who only needed a point to seal their place in the next round, went all in and got the full reward.
The Mexican team took the lead in the last minutes of the first half thanks to a great goal by Tigres' Lizbeth Ovalle. With the advantage after the break, Mexico did not stop attacking and was rewarded with a second goal: right before the end of the match, a spectacular long range effort from Mayra Pelayo sealed the victory for Mexico over their archrivals.
