June 16: USA vs Mexico In the last game of the 1996 U.S. Cup, the USA and Mexico, now under former U.S. coach Bora Milutinovic battled to a 2-2 tie. The high tempo game went back and fourth as the teams traded goals in both halves. The U.S. got on the board first with an Eric Wynalda shot in the 34th minute, but Mexico answered as the first half came to a close with a Garcia goal in the 45th minute. The game remained 1-1 until Cuauhtémoc Blanco scored what appeared to be the winning goal in the 89th minute, but Mexico relaxed too soon and Thomas Dooley answered a minute later to keep the game even at the end.
