Sullivan, 17 years and five days old, netted the second goal after Julian Hall opened the scoring in the 28th minute. Malik Tillman added a third in the 84th minute, sealing the win.
Mexico pressed early, with Santiago Giménez missing a short‑range chance before halftime and a brief altercation later resulted in a red card for Mateo Chávez. US goalkeeper Diego Kochen made a notable save in the second half. The United States held 49% possession but recorded four shots on goal to Mexico’s one, extending their streak to three consecutive friendly victories since exiting the World Cup in the round of 16.
