The U.S. Men’s National Team advanced to its ninth CONCACAF Gold Cup Championship game and is shooting for its fifth title following a 3-1 semifinal victory against Honduras at Cowboys Stadium. The U.S. will play at Soldier Field in Chicago at 4 p.m. ET with live coverage on FOX and Univision.
The United States - which has outscored its Gold Cup opponents 19-4 - extended its record winning streak to 10 games as it awaits the winner of Panama-Mexico in next Sunday's final at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Eddie Johnson scored the opener for the USA and Donovan twice provided the Stars and Stripes a two-goal lead against Honduras, which gave the host nation a scare early in the second half when Nery Medina scored on a header off a set piece.
The USA previously won the tournament in 1991, 2002, 2005 and 2007. With four runner-up finishes, the U.S. has now reached the championship game in nine of the 12 editions of the Gold Cup. Only three countries have won the tournament, with Mexico leading the way with six championships and Canada earning the 2000 title.
