Mexico shattered USA's 58-match home unbeaten run by trouncing their CONCACAF rivals 5-0 in New Jersey to lift the Gold Cup.

Second-half goals from Gerardo Torrado, Carlos Vela, Giovani Dos Santos, Jose Castro and Guillerme Franco sealed the first win for Mexico in the US in 10 years.

"I believe this is a great win for Mexico because we showed the pride we have in our hearts today," Man of the Match Dos Santos said.

"This is a huge step for us in the process."

The North American neighbors meet again on August 12th in a 2010 World Cup qualifier in Mexico.
