The United States suffered a painful defeat in the Gold Cup final against Mexico on Sunday night, losing 2–1 despite striking first and picking up an early lead just four minutes into the game.
One moment during the second half had USMNT fans irate, as a controversial decision from referees took away a potential penalty for the Americans. In the 67th minute, left back Max Arfsten attempted to dribble inside the box when the ball was stolen by Jorge Sanchez, who got in the way of the ball while going down on one knee.
