USA secured a place in the final with a 1-0 win over Qatar in the semi-finals on Friday as Zardes scoring four minutes from time to send his side to their third successive final.
The USA team lost the 2019 Gold Cup to Mexico and will want to avenge that loss by putting on a show with their young team.
On the other hand, reigning champions Mexico sealed their spot in the final by beating Canada 2-1 on Friday as well.
After Pineda’s goal was cancelled out by Buchanan, Herrera scored late in extra time to break Canada hearts.

When both sides last met, USA needed extra time to beat Mexico 3-2 in the CONCACAF Nations League Championship.
In what is a back-and-forth match throughout, Pulisic scored in the 114th minute to give his side an incredible win. Reyna, McKennie scored the other goals for USA.
While Corona and Lainez found the back of the net for Mexico.
We can expect nothing short of a classic as both teams have plenty at stake.
Neither side has lost in 8 and 7 matches respectively. Hence, the record is set to be broken tonight.
