Result Mexico 2 – 0 Saudi Arabia, Saturday 28 June 2025, CONCACAF Gold Cup Quarterfinals

Mexico defeated Saudi Arabia in the Quarterfinals of the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ.  Mexico is set to take on Honduras in the semifinals this Wednesday, July 2, in Santa Clara, California. Honduras triumphed over Panama in a penalty shootout after the match ended in a 1-1 tie during regulation.

Mexico took a 2-0 lead in the 81st minute thanks to an own goal by Abdullah Madu of Saudi Arabia. Mateo Chavez from Mexico delivered a cross to Roberto Alvarado, who didn’t touch the ball. Instead, it deflected off the defender Madu and found its way into the net.

The nine-time Gold Cup champions, Mexico, will go up against Saudi Arabia, a non-Concacaf member that has received an invitation to join the 2025 Gold Cup. This matchup will be the fifth competitive meeting between these nations, with Mexico winning all four of their prior encounters, including their last match in the 2022 World Cup.

  •     🔴⚫️  AC Milan’s forward Santiago Giménez plays for the Mexico National team from the 60th minute when he replaced Raúl Jiménez.
