Mexico captain Andres Guardado wins Golden Ball following Gold Cup triumph

Andres Guardado claims Golden Ball

Mexico captain Andres Guardado was handed the Golden Ball following his nation's triumph in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final.

The pre-match favourites took home the silverware following a 3-1 win over Jamaica on Sunday.

Guardado, who plays for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, was given a special honour after scoring six goals, one of which was in the final, during the tournament.

The 28-year-old found the back of the net in five of Mexico's six games, and three of the goals came from the penalty spot.

Meanwhile, USA international Clint Dempsey was awarded the Golden Boot after scoring seven goals, while goalkeeper Brad Guzan took home the Golden Glove.
