EL TRI PROVE TOO MUCH FOR REGGAE BOYZ, WIN SEVENTH CONCACAF GOLD CUP BERTH; WILL PLAY TEAM USA IN PLAYOFF FOR CONFEDERATIONS CUP BERTH

At Philadelphia:

Andres Guardado (31', that's him celebrating here), Jesus Corona (47'), and Oribe Peralta (61') each scored a goal on Sunday as Mexico won their seventh CONCACAF Gold Cup title 3-1 over Jamaica.

The largely pro-Mexican crowd of 68,930 at Lincoln Financial Field was the largest to see a soccer match in the City of Brotherly Love.

El Tri will take on the United States (who won this tournament in 2013) in a one-game playoff for the CONCACAF berth in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.  The match is slated to take place on Friday, October 9 on American soil at a venue which would be announced on Monday.
