Mexico conquer third straight CONCACAF U-17 Championship

Mexico waited until injury time to tie the United States and then proceed to win the CONCACAF U-17 title on a penalty shootout (5-4). It was a totally different story from a their Group stage game where the US had been the better team and had gotten a deserved win. This time it was Mexico who was the better team and at times completely dominated but were unlucky to allow a goal after a goalkeeper mistake. After the goal, Mexico took complete control of the game but couldn't come close and were even dangerously close to getting scored in the last minutes of the game off a 3 v 1 counter attack.
