Con un golazo de Paul Aguilar cuando agonizaba la prórroga, México sentenció un tenso duelo ante su acérrimo rival de la CONCACAF y se impuso 3-2 a Estados Unidos para conseguir el boleto a la Copa Confederaciones de 2017.
México es el campeón vigente de la Copa de Oro, el certamen regional de la CONCACAF, tras derrotar este año en la final a Jamaica.
El Tri tuvo que medirse a Estados Unidos, vencedor en 2013, en la llamada Copa CONCACAF para definir al representante de la zona en la Confederaciones, que se realiza en Rusia como antesala a la Copa del Mundo de 2018.
