Mexico has secured a place in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final after a decisive 1-0 victory over Honduras, thanks to a second-half goal by Raul Jimenez at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Despite dominating possession, Mexico struggled in the final third but was rewarded when 16-year-old Gilberto Mora set up Jimenez for a powerful 50th-minute strike.

Edson Alvarez's perceived second goal was annulled due to an offside ruling post-VAR review. Mexico aims for a 10th title against the U.S., who defeated Guatemala earlier.
