June 11: United States Wins Cup
Two games were played at Giants Stadium on the final day. In the first match, the United States and Mexico faced each other for the Cup title while Ireland and South Africa played for second place.
In the first game, the United States, for the first time in years, easily handled Mexico with a 3-0 win in front of 45,008 fans. In the 33rd minute, Brian McBride took a cross from Earnie Stewart and easily scored from 10 yards. Mexico kept it close until Christian Ramirez received his second yellow of the match in the 70th minute for pulling Cobi Jones to the ground. With Mexico down to ten men, Frankie Hejduk of the United States scored nine minutes later from a rebound from a Cobi Jones shot. Ante Razov scored his second goal of the tournament, when he intercepted a poorly timed pass between Mexican defender Paul Cesar Chavez and his goalkeeper. With this victory, the United States claimed its third U.S. Cup.

“Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
When June is past, the fading rose;
For in your beauty’s orient deep
These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.
Ask me no more whither do stray
The golden atoms of the day;
For in pure love heaven did prepare
Those powders to enrich your hair.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
