Mexico Defeats Honduras to Reach 12th Gold Cup Final

Mexico advanced to its 12th CONCACAF Gold Cup final with a 1-0 win over Honduras, as Raúl Jiménez scored in the 50th minute with an assist from 16-year-old Gilberto Mora. Edson Álvarez appeared to score a second goal, but it was disallowed for offside after a VAR review. Honduras, in their first semifinal appearance since 2013, could not equalize despite several key saves from goalkeeper Edrick Menjívar. Mexico dominated possession but struggled to create clear first-half chances. El Tri will face the United States in the final, marking the eighth Gold Cup title clash between the rivals, with Mexico seeking a record 10th championship. Mexico has not conceded a goal for 383 minutes in the tournament.
