Mexico shows it's the king of CONCACAF in thrilling win

With its second CONCACAF triumph of 2015, Mexico showed it's still the king of the CONCACAF region, writes Jon Arnold.

PASADENA, Calif. — It took extra time and a stunning goal from Paul Aguilar, but Mexico consolidated its position as the best team in CONCACAF with a 3-2 win against the United States on Saturday.

The game was close — interim Mexico manager Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti opened his news conference by congratulating opposite number Jurgen Klinsmann and his team for a well-fought contest — but ultimately Mexico proved too much for the U.S.

The goals were lovely, making up for some slower moments in the match.
