LAS VEGAS — Miles Robinson scored on a header in the 117th minute, and a junior varsity U.S. lineup upset a mostly front-line Mexico team 1-0 on Sunday night to win the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Kellyn Acosta, the only player in the U.S. starting lineup who gets playing time when the first-choice roster is together, took a free kick, and Robinson outjumped Edson Álvarez and headed in the ball on one hop to the right of goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera.
Robinson, a 24-year-old defender in his fourth Major League Soccer season with Atlanta, scored his third international goal in nine appearances and his second goal of the tournament.
