Jimenez at the double for Mexico
Bangkok Post
|March 25, 2025
Raul Jimenez scored twice as Mexico snatched a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Panama to win the Concacaf Nations League for the first time on Sunday.
-
Fulham striker Jimenez — who had also bagged a brace in a semi-final win over Canada — slotted a stoppage time penalty to settle a pulsating final battle at SoFi Stadium.
Mexico's win was tinged with controversy though, with the final halted by match officials in the closing minutes due to homophobic chanting from Mexican fans.
It was the third Concacaf Nations League final in a row to be stopped due to the offensive chants which have persisted amongst Mexico's fans for years despite repeated Concacaf attempts to crack down on them.
Jimenez, 33, converted the winning spot-kick in the second minute of stoppage time after Panama defender Jose Cordoba needlessly flung an arm out at across to concede a handball.
