US beats Mexico 3-0 in a disgraceful CONCACAF semifinal

In a disgraceful CONCACAF semifinal between US and Mexico, four players were ejected and the match was cut short by the referee after repeated homophobic chants Thursday night.

The United States won 3-0 over Mexico for a spot Sunday in the CONCACAF Nations League final against Canada with two goals by Christian Pulisic and one by Ricardo Pepi.

Americans Weston McKennie and Sergiño Dest were ejected by Salvadoran referee Ivan Barton along with Mexicans Cesar Montes and Gerardo Arteaga during the heated second half.

Red cards. Clashes. Ripped shirts. Just another day in USA vs. Mexico.

CHAOS ⚔️
