Bawl Rose Stadium in Pasadena, California. Before more than 90,000 people faced choices of Mexico and the United States to lift the Gold Cup CONCACAF and get a spot in the FIFA Confederations Cup will take place in 2013 based Brazil. After a spectacular comeback and a goal by the end of Giovani Dos Santos has been the Tricolor after the last winning the local beat by two goals to four .
Recall first that the Gold Cup pits the combined areas North, Central America and the Caribbean. Representatives of the first, Canada, USA and Mexico, have assured their participation, while the rest have to play previous tournaments in their respective federations. Invitations are common, with Brazil and Colombia which have participated more often, but this time there was no special guest. Since its first edition in 1991 is always done in the United States, except in 1993 and 2003 that was organized along with Mexico. With few exceptions, it will normally take place every two years.
It is the sixth time that Mexico raise the Cup, the four United States. Canada in 2000 is the only one that has managed to beat Mexicans and Americans. Thus, the U.S. may not republish Confed success in 2009, when he stood in the final after defeating Spain in the semifinals. Mexico who will get the ticket, there will also be world champion Spain as well as future winners America's Cup that starts in a few days and next year's European Championship.
The party was vibrant and full of goals and excitement. Mexico took the lead from the start but it was the locals who went ahead on the scoreboard by Bradley in 9 minutes. Mexico responded well and continued sending in the game, but the U.S. again took a hit on the scoring when Donovan scored the second in 23. With that goal, the former Everton player becomes the leading scorer of the tournament. The Mexican reaction was immediate: in 28, Pablo Barrera would mark the first and Guardado Deportivo establish the tie seven minutes later.
It was Barrera, belonging to fallen West Ham, who would score after the break to turn the result. That was when America woke up from their slumber to threaten the tie, but came Giovani Dos Santos to leave the pearl of the afternoon and probably the tournament. With the ball glued to the stand, he was avoiding the keeper Howard to end the web of eluding defenders with a perfect Vaseline. For framing. With this goal in the 76th minute, Mexico managed to calm to win the match and the championship.
Giovani, who has recovered its best in Racing Santander where he has been a key element for retention, return to Tottenham after completing his assignment in the Cantabrian team. A pity, Racing wrapped in questions, can not afford the four million would cost the first installment of its preferential option of buying a total of eight million. The player has already stated he would like to stay in Santander, and would be a recruiting class for the team Betis.
Former Barca squad, which was heeled right behind a nuisance to American, was named man of the match, and Chicharito, which does not wet in the final but did play a good game, finished as top scorer with seven goals . Mexico does not stop, but it will make its key figures. This weekend begins its participation in the Copa America with a combination consisting of players under 23 years. Giovani will not, his brother Jonathan, Chicharito, Sailing or Guardado, among others. They also need rest.
