2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup knockout stage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The knockout stage of the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup was the second and final stage of the competition, following the group stage. Played from July 8 to 16, the knockout stage ended with the final, held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in the Los Angeles area.[1] The top two teams from each group advanced to the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination tournament. There were seven matches in the knockout stage.[2]
The knockout stage of the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup was contested between the eight teams that qualified from the group stage. Matches in the knockout stage were played to a finish. If the score of a match was level at the end of 90 minutes of playing time, extra time was played. If, after two periods of 15 minutes, the scores were still tied, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out.[2] All times listed are local in Eastern Time Zone (UTC−4).[1]
