🚨 Luna brace carries the USMNT to a narrow semi-final win over Guatemala
The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup reached the semi-final stage this evening as regional giants the United States and Mexico looked to reach a highly-anticipated potential clash this weekend. In the wake of Canada's upset loss against Guatemala, both outfits were on the hunt to avoid a similar fate when locking horns with the aforementioned Chapines and Honduras respectively. Advertisement Here is how all the action broke down in St. Louis ahead of events to come later tonight in Santa Clara. Luna shines as the US book passage to the final Scorers: Luna 4', 15'; Escobar 80' Despite all the questions in recent months, the US Men's National Team are one step away from achieving their requisite aim this summer after securing a 2-1 win over Guatemala. Mauricio Pochettino's men got off to a dream start after budding starlet Diego Luna pounced to slot home inside the opening four minutes after Luca De La Torre's effort was parried into his path by Guatemala shot-stopper Kenderson Navarro. Advertisement Luna would complete his brace in the 15th minute with a sublime strike from range after receiving in space from Malik Tillman's pass before leaving Navarro no chance low at his near post. Chapines did have their chances across all the action this evening, and they would ultimately be rewarded in the 80th minute when CF Montréal youngster Olger Escobar pulled one back to set up a grandstand finish along the Mississippi after coming off the bench in the 65th minute. The late strike - and four minutes of added time - would not be enough for Guatemala to push for another possible shock result, with the US holding on to claim a spot in the Gold Cup final on Sunday.
