Raúl Jiménez scores twice in both the semifinal and final as Mexico wins the trophy for the first time with a 2-1 victory over Panama.
The talk about who is the best forward in CONCACAF, must always include Raúl Jiménez and prove why in the CONCACAF Nations League.
Jiménez scored two goals in Mexico’s semifinal win at Canada Thursday and he added another two goals in Sunday’s 2-1 win against Panama in the final in front of 68,212 at SoFi Stadium.
This is Mexico’s first CONCACAF Nations League championship.
“I’m happy for the players, I’m very happy about their performance,” Mexico coach Javier Aguirre. “It’s not easy to beat any team. Panama showed great resistance. I hope they qualify for the World Cup.”
Aguirre, in his third stint as coach of the Mexico, returned last July.
