The USMNT's 2-1 defeat to Mexico in the Gold Cup Final will best be remembered by one controversial decision from officials, in which they determined that no penalty was to be awarded after Mexican defender Jorge Sanchez hit the ball with his hand while falling to the ground.

The U.S. Men's National Team came up short in the Gold Cup Final on Sunday, losing to Mexico 2-1. A tight game all the way through, Mexico had just enough to leave NRG Stadium in Houston with a win. The United States got off to an early start when Chris Richards found the back of the net in the fourth minute.
