The 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup quarterfinals serve up a heavyweight bout on Sunday, as the United States locks horns with Costa Rica at U.S. Bank Stadium.
For the Stars and Stripes, this marks their 18th straight trip to the knockout rounds, a streak as steady as clockwork. Meanwhile, Costa Rica isn’t far behind, booking their place in the last eight for the 14th consecutive time and the 16th overall.
The defending champs tore through the group stage like a team on a mission, racking up a flawless 3-0-0 record. They kicked things off with a five-goal demolition of Trinidad and Tobago, followed it up with a tight 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia, and capped it off with a 2-1 victory over a spirited Haiti side.
Malik Tillman has been the man of the hour, leading the American charge with three goals, while Diego Luna and Max Arfsten have been the chief creators, each tallying a pair of assists.
On the other side, Los Ticos have also arrived unbeaten, finishing second in Group A with a 2-1-0 record. They’ve made a habit of comebacks, roaring back to edge Suriname 4-3 and then toppling the Dominican Republic 2-1 before grinding out a gritty scoreless draw with Mexico.
Josimar Alcocer has been the clutch player with two consecutive game-winners, while Manfred Ugalde is flying high as the team’s top scorer with three goals to his name.

USMNT vs. Costa Ricalineups, team news
The U.S. Men's National Team heads into Sunday’s quarterfinal clash with a clean bill of health and plenty of pep in their step after brushing past Haiti without picking up any knocks.
Up front, Malik Tillman has been the man with the golden touch, bagging three goals in the tournament so far—including crucial openers against both Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti that set the tone early.
Meanwhile, the creative engine has been humming thanks to Max Arfsten and Diego Luna, who’ve been pulling the strings and racking up a pair of assists apiece.
USMNT predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Freese (GK) — Freeman, Richards, Ream, Arfsten — Adams, Torre — McGlynn, Tilmann, Aaronson — Agyemang.
Injured: None.
Suspended: None.
Costa Rica’s path to the quarterfinals has hit a few speed bumps, with suspensions and injuries thinning out their roster. Joseph Mora and top scorer Manfred Ugalde are both out of Sunday’s showdown after picking up bookings against Mexico, handing them a one-match ban.
On top of that, Ariel Lassiter and Warren Madrigal are expected to be ruled out due to injury woes.
With Ugalde stuck on the sidelines, all eyes shift to Josimar Alcócer to carry the load up front. The youngster has already proven his knack for late-game heroics, bagging decisive goals against both Suriname and the Dominican Republic, and he’ll need to dig deep again when the pressure's on.
Between the posts, Keylor Navas has been as busy as a one-man wall—racking up 11 saves so far, second only to Xavier Valdez of the Dominican Republic.
Costa Rica predicted XI (5-3-2 right to left): Navas (GK) — C. Mora, Mitchell, Vargas, Gamboa, Calvo — Aguilera, Galo, Alcocer — Martinez, Zamora.
Injured: Aguilera (undisclosed), Vargas (muscle).
Suspended: Mora (yellow cards), Ugalde (yellow cards).
