The USMNT face Mexico in the final showdown of the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup. With high stakes on the line, Mauricio Pochettino's team looks to close the championship gap, while Javier Aguirre's squad seeks to reaffirm their dominance.

With back-to-back starts, it's clear Aguirre sees Mora as more than just a depth piece in the Gold Cup. With Luis Chávez out for a significant time, Mora emerges as arguably his most natural replacement. Through two games, he's shown he's more than capable of holding his own with the national team.

Mexico and the United States will face each other for the eighth time in a Gold Cup final, with El Tri holding the edge in the rivalry with five wins out of seven previous meetings.
