The Semi-Final Battles
In St. Louis, the USA brutally knocked out Guatemala 2-1, thanks to the incredible Diego Luna who scored both goals in the first 15 minutes. Yes, two goals in the first 15 minutes! Guatemala tried to come back with a goal from Olger Escobar in the 80th minute, but it wasn’t enough.
In Santa Clara, California, Mexico defeated Honduras 1-0 with a goal from Raúl Jiménez in the 50th minute. Mexico, a nine-time champion of this tournament, is now going for their tenth title.
A Historic Rivalry
