USA 0-2 Mexico: Alfaro fires U20 CONCACAF title

⭐ Key Players

• Cristobal Alfaro scored 2 headed goals at 28' and 69' in the 0-2 final.
• Chris Applewhite was sent off before half-time after a VAR review, the report says.
• Hugo Camberos drew the foul reviewed before Applewhite's dismissal, the report says.

The official score and basic stats leave no doubt about the outcome: Mexico won 2-0 and were ahead at the break. That was enough to turn the final into a controlled finish, with USA chasing the game and Mexico protecting their edge before sealing it late.

For the main highlights, the report said Alfaro decided the match at both ends of the timeline that mattered most - first with a 28th-minute header and then again in the 69th minute. The same update said the United States were reduced to 10 men before the interval when captain Applewhite was sent off after a VAR review, a turning point that left Mexico in command for the second half.

That made the broader summary straightforward. Mexico took the title with a clean-sheet result, while USA were left with no route back once the margin doubled. The report also quoted Alfaro saying, "Although I scored, this is a collective achievement." He added: "I thank the fans for their unconditional support. It was an incredible experience to win at home."
