Mexico Defeats Canada 2-0, Advances to Nations League Final

Raúl Jiménez led Mexico to a 2-0 victory over Canada in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal, scoring both goals and showcasing his skill at SoFi Stadium. The match began dramatically with Jiménez scoring just 57 seconds in, setting a dominant tone for Mexico, who will face Panama in the final. Despite entering the game with a strong unbeaten streak, Canada struggled to break through Mexico's defense and was frustrated by a VAR decision that denied them a potential penalty. Coach Jesse Marsch's squad, brimming with confidence, found it difficult to convert chances into goals, reflecting ongoing scoring issues under his leadership. This defeat extends Canada's search for their first men's international trophy, while Mexico aims for its first Nations League title. Panama's unexpected advance to the final adds an intriguing twist to the upcoming match.
