The United States Men\u2019s National Soccer Team<\/a> took on Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals Thursday evening, but their 3-0 victory was bittersweet as the game saw a whopping four red cards and the ref was forced to end the game early due to an unruly crowd.<\/p>\n

Four players were ejected in the match, including Americans Weston McKennie and Sergi\u00f1o Dest and Mexicans C\u00e9sar Montes and Gerardo Arteaga. Salvadoran referee Iv\u00e1n Barton also ended the game early after the crowd repeated homophobic chants.<\/p>\n

“These are rivalry games. These are derby games. Things like this happen across the world and in no way am I embarrassed,” U.S. interim coach<\/a> B.J. Callaghan said after the game, his first leading the team.<\/p>\n

USMNT striker Folarin Balogun, a 21-year-old who made his debut for the squad, said he was “shocked” by the game: “The boys told me it was going to be intense, but I\u2019m definitely still shocked by the events.”<\/p>\n

Goals for the U.S. were scored by Christian Pulisic, who had two, and Ricardo Pepi. Mexico had only one shot on goal in the contest.<\/p>\n

Pulisic now has 25 goals in 59 international appearances, including four goals against Mexico. It was his first professional start for club or country since April 15.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s second half grew particularly testy, with red cards handed out in the 69th minute, the 71st, and two in the 85th.<\/p>\n

In addition to the four red cards, a total of nine yellow cards were handed to players \u2014 four to the Americans and five to Mexico.<\/a><\/p>\n

The game was halted in the 90th, due to homophobic chants, before the ref resumed the action and signaled an additional 12 minutes of stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Barton ended the match in the eighth added minute as the chants resumed.<\/p>\n

With the win, the U.S. also extended its unbeaten streak against its southern neighbors to six (three wins, three draws), matching the Americans’ longest, from 2011-15.<\/p>\n

The USMNT reached its 5th straight CONCACAF Nations League final. They will play against Canada, who defeated Panama 2-0.<\/p>\n

Canada won their semifinal game despite having fewer shots on goal, fewer passes and possessing the ball less than their opponents. One red card was given in the game to Panama\u2019s Eric Davis.<\/p>\n

Callaghan said after the game that he disagreed with the contentious crowd.<\/p>\n

“In terms of the chant, I want to make it very clear first and foremost, for our beliefs and our culture, it has no place in the game,” the coach said. “It has no place in our value system.”<\/p>\n

McKennie and Dest are suspended for the final.<\/p>\n

Tim Weah, a 23-year-old forward for the USMNT said their loss would be “definitely a blow.”<\/p>\n

“It comes with the game. I know the red cards are definitely a bummer, but it happens,” he remarked. “Aggressive match tonight.”<\/p>\n

Callaghan added: “It comes from a good place. They care about each other so much in that locker room that they’re standing up for each other. Sometimes does it have an issue where we take a red card? Yeah, but when you know where it comes from, you can accept it and it’s a learning lesson for us.”<\/p>\n

The CONCACAF Nations League finals will be played on June 18, at 8:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Mexico and Panama will<\/a> meet in the third-place match.<\/p>\n
