Most Gold Cup Goals: USA's Malik Tillman Has Inside Track In Golden Boot Race
Coming into the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Malik Tillman had only scored once in his first 19 appearances for the U.S. men's national team. He's now scored three times in as many games at the tournament, putting him in a prime spot to finish as the top goalscorer if the U.S. makes a deep run. Tillman has been a breakout star for the USMNT at the Gold Cup, which has solidified his case for being in next year's World Cup squad for Mauricio Pochettino. "What a talented player. I'm so pleased with him. So pleased. He's a lovely guy, and he's started to find himself. The team is much better when he's involved in the game," Pochettino said about Tillman after scoring in the USMNT's 2-1 win over Haiti. Next up for the U.S. team is a quarterfinal clash with Costa Rica, which advanced to knockout round thanks to Manfred Ugalde – who shares the goals lead with Tillman and Mexico's Cesar Montes. But Los Ticos will be without Ugalde due to yellow card accumulation for the quarterfinal match against the USMNT. That means Tillman can take in the inside track for the Golden Boot if he continues scoring. Here's how the race for the Gold Cup Golden Boot is shaking out.
