Mexican fans in green, white and red in the crowd of 62,493 made Chicago’s Solider Field seem like Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca. Mexico scored in the 75th minute on a move started by Dos Santos. Rodolfo Pizarro crossed the ball into the penalty area for Raul Jimenez to play in Dos Santos with a backheel pass. The midfielder’s left-footed shot went in off the underside of the crossbar for just his third goal in 46 international appearances. The US has been rebuilding under Berhalter after they missed out on qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Mexico was playing in their first tournament under coach Gerardo Martino, who was appointed in January and has not lost a competitive match to the US since 2013.
