North America’s biggest rivalry will take center stage once again with the USMNT’s first visit to Estadio Akron. This is the first meeting in a friendly between the teams on Mexican soil since Aug.15, 2012, when fantastic defense and Michael Orozco's 80th minute goal led to a 1-0 victory at the famed Estadio Azteca. The shutout remains the USMNT's only win in Mexico in any competition.
The USMNT is currently riding a team record seven-straight matches unbeaten against El Trí, dating back to the 3-2 extra time win in the 2021 Concacaf Nations League Final. Most recently, goals by midfielders Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna on either side of halftime led the U.S. to a 2-0 victory on March 24, 2024 at AT&T Stadium and its third consecutive CNL title.
