They staged a dominating comeback in the second leg to secure a win. In the semifinals, the Mexico national football team defeated Canada and booked a seat for themselves in the finals.
Raul Jimenez can be pronounced as a hero for the Mexicans here. The Fulham forward scored back-to-back braces for El Tri and led them to a title win. He scored an important match winner which led Mexico to their first-ever Concacaf Nations League title.
The Panama national football team gave a tough fight to Mexico but they conceded a late goal which led them to lose the title.
