In a physical game, Mexico and Ireland played to a 2-2 tie in East Rutherford’s Giants Stadium. Mexico opened the scoring when Luis Garcia shot on frame in the 40th minute. Four minutes later, David Connolly, just beginning his national team career, evened the score. Five minutes later, Ireland went up on a Mexico own goal off Davino. However, Ireland would have two men sent off, Daish and Niall Quinn, as well as their manager Mick McCarthy and Luis Garcia would convert a 70th minute penalty to end the game at 2-2. The automatic one game suspension of McCarthy was overturned on appeal. |

The 1996 U.S. Cup was a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) organized tournament held in June 1996. USSF had hosted the annual U.S. Cup since 1992, except for the World Cup years of 1994 and 1998. The 1996 U.S. Cup included the host United States, Mexico, Bolivia and Ireland. Staged as a six game, round robin tournament, the team with the best win-loss record took the title. Bolivia was playing its first while both Ireland and Mexico were playing their second. This year Mexico would emerge as the winner, a feat it would repeat in 1997 and 1999.
