USWNT Ends Mexico’s World Cup Dreams With Unconvincing Win
Mexico needed a miracle to keep its World Cup hopes alive.
It never came.
Kristie Mewis scored a controversial goal in the 89th minute to finally break the deadlock as the U.S. beat Mexico 1-0 to officially end La Tri’s 2023 World Cup aspirations on Monday in Nuevo León. The USWNT claimed first place in Group A having already clinched World Cup qualification on Thursday at the Concacaf W Championship.
