The 1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup final was an association football match that took place on 25 July 1993 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico, to determine the winner of the 1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup. This was the second final in the history of CONCACAF Gold Cup and second consecutive final for the United States after they beat Honduras in a penalty shootout in the 1991 final. They faced Mexico, who were making their first appearance in a Gold Cup Final. El Tri won the match 4–0 in front of 120,000 spectators. [1]

[3] On the contrary, the United States had won all of their games by 1 goal, and scored a golden goal against Costa Rica in the semi-finals. [4]
