Mexico defeated the United States 2-1 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on Sunday to successfully defend their CONCACAF Gold Cup crown and capture their 10th title in a pulsating final that delivered drama from start to finish.

Raul Jimenez set up a mouthwatering Concacaf Gold Cup final, striking the only goal in Mexico’s 1-0 victory over Honduras on Wednesday night to book a showdown with the United States with the trophy on the line on Sunday.

With back-to-back starts, it's clear Aguirre sees Mora as more than just a depth piece in the Gold Cup. With Luis Chávez out for a significant time, Mora emerges as arguably his most natural replacement. Through two games, he's shown he's more than capable of holding his own with the national team.
