The United States is going to play for the Gold Cup title and it’s all thanks to a Columbus Crew player. Black & Gold striker Gyasi Zardes tapped in the winning goal in the 87th minute to clinch a 1-0 win for the USMNT against Qatar in the semifinal match at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas. The goal ensures the Americans will play in Sunday’s Gold Cup final at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Qatar had the first great chance of the game after a giveaway by James Sands. The New York City FC defender passed it right to a Qatar midfielder who found star striker Almoez Ali open right outside the penalty box.
