Mexico fought for the equalizer in the second half, but were unable to find the breakthrough and Reyna delivered the decisive blow when he fired a bouncing clearance attempt in the box back in to make it 2-0.

The win marked the second time the U.S. has beaten Mexico to win the Nations League final and extended an unbeaten streak against Mexico to seven dating back to Mexico’s win in September 2019.

Hershey native Christian Pulisic started the match for the Yanks and former Philadelphia Union midfielder Brenden Aaronson subbed in for Pulisic off the bench. Former Philadelphia Union defender Mark McKenzie was an unused substitute.

The USMNT will be back in action on June 8 with a friendly against Colombia at Commanders Field in Landover, Maryland.

Jamaica finished third place in the competition for the first time with a 1-0 win over Panama in the third place game. Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake started and made two saves to record the clean sheet while Union teammate Damion Lowe started on the back line. Blake recorded his 26th clean sheet for Jamaica in his 75th appearance. Lowe logged 89 minutes in his 61st appearance for the Reggae Boyz.
