Every time the United State Men’s National Team takes the pitch against Mexico things turn up a notch, but tensions hit a fever pitch during Thursday night’s CONCACAF Nations League semifinals. The USMNT routed its rival 3-0, but that was far from the story of the night.
The match featured four red cards, two players from each side being ejected, homophobic chants from Mexican supporters, and an early whistle to end the match with time remaining.
Homophobic chants were reportedly heard throughout the contest, which was being held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
