Ugly moment Mexico player SLAPS USA’s Sebastian Berhalter in the face as bitter rivalry descends into chaos

Mexico's Mateo Chavez was shown a straight red card after slapping the United States' Sebastian Berhalter in the face during a fiery friendly in Glendale, Arizona. The incident occurred midway through the second half following a foul on Yunus Musah, sparking a scuffle between both teams that required US manager Mauricio Pochettino and coaching staff to intervene on the field.

The USMNT went on to defeat Mexico 3-0 at State Farm Stadium. Seventeen-year-old Cavan Sullivan became the youngest goalscorer in USMNT history, with Julian Hall and Malik Tillman also finding the net to cap a dominant performance.
