Mexico Vs. Trinidad and Tobago 2015 Gold Cup Recap: Marshall Finds Late Equalizer In Wild Finish 4-4 [VIDEO]

It was one of the wildest matches in Gold Cup history, but at the end of the day, all you can do is shake your head and say, "this is soccer, the beautiful sport." After relinquishing a two-goal lead in a matter of 12 minutes, Mexico scored two goals in two minutes, only to allow a late equalizer in stoppage time and Trinidad and Tobago tied El Tri 4-4 at Bank of America Stadium on Wednesday.

Words cannot even begin to describe the second half of this match. After a one-goal lead to start the second half, Mexico jumped ahead 2-0 thanks to a nifty move in the box by Carlos Vela. Vela found the back of the net in the second half with some fantastic footwork in the box. Pushing down the left hand side of the box, Vela faked left, only to cut right, slotting a shot between the defender's legs, off the near post and into the net.

Mexico appeared to be in cruise control with the top seed in Group C, all but a certainty…then all hell broke loose.

In a stunning turn of fortune, Trinidad and Tobago scored a miraculous three goals in 12 minutes to come roaring back and grab a 3-2 lead with just over 20 minutes left to play. Keron Cummings scored two bookmark goals and Kenwyne Jones scored the third in between.

Jones found Cummings off a 2-1 on break for the easy first goal, and Jones connected three minutes later with a blast from the center of the box. Once again Jones found Cummings in the 67^th minute as his angled shot found the bottom left corner of the net from the right side of the box.

Trinidad and Tobago buckled down on defense as it seemed that Mexico would be unable to find the equalizer. In a surprising move, manager Miguel Herrera substituted forward Carlos Esquivel into the game removing defender Yasser Corona.

The move worked miracles as Andrés Guardado's golazo from outside of the box gave El Tri the equalizer they needed. Guardado hammered a shot from just outside the center of the box that nobody was going to stop and the game was tied at 3-3.

Less than two minutes later, a broken set piece sent the ball into the center of the six-yard box, and Jones accidentally knocked it into his own net. The score was credited as an "own-goal," and Mexico had recovered from their three-goal collapse to take the lead.

But, it was not over. Less than two minutes later, Trinidad and Tobago was awared a corner kick on what would be the final play of the match. Joevin Jones sent the cross into the box and Yohance Marshall headed it home for the late equalizer. The goal tied the game, stunned the pro-Mexico crowd, and secured the top spot for Trinidad and Tobago in Group C.

Mexico has been less than impressive in the tournament as their inconsistent play has cost them throughout group play and was exposed in this match. They are out of the Gold Cup tournament yet, as with the draw their lock up second place in the Group with 5 points.

Mexico will now have a tough draw in Costa Rica in the quarterfinals, the Central American team who made an impressive run in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, advancing to the quarterfinals where they were eliminated in penalty kicks by the Netherlands.

Trinidad and Tobago continues to be the surprise of the 2015 Gold Cup as they may also be the team to beat as they next square off with 2013-runner up, Panama, in the quarterfinals.
