Road to the quarterfinals for US and Costa Rica

Both the United States and Costa Rica earned their place in the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals with strong group stage performances.

The US topped Group D with a perfect record. They rolled over Trinidad and Tobago 5-0, edged Saudi Arabia 1-0, and finished with a 2-1 win against Haiti. That’s eight goals scored and just one conceded. Malik Tillman (3 goals) and Patrick Agyemang (2 goals) played a big part in getting them to the quarterfinal.

Costa Rica finished second in Group A behind Mexico. They went unbeaten, with two wins and a 0-0 draw against Mexico, just missing out on first place due to goal difference. Manfred Ugalde stood out with three goals and an assist. That said, a couple of suspensions could cause problems for Costa Rica heading into this match.

Free CONCACAF Gold Cup US vs Costa Rica streams

All CONCACAF Gold Cup matches will be streamed live and free in English on the official CONCACAF YouTube channel.

However, the YouTube stream isn’t available everywhere. In some countries, like the US (where FOX holds the rights) and Canada (where OneSoccer has the rights), the matches are geo-blocked due to exclusive broadcast deals.

If you try to watch from one of these restricted regions, you’ll see an error message.

To bypass these geo-restrictions, you can use a VPN. Connect to a server in a country outside the CONCACAF Gold Cup participating region, such as the UK, Germany, or Spain, and then reload the stream.
