Mexico Beats Honduras, Advances in Nations League

Mexico achieved a remarkable comeback by defeating Honduras 4-0 in the second leg of their CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal, overturning a 2-0 deficit from the first leg to win 4-2 on aggregate. Raúl Jiménez opened the scoring shortly before halftime, and Mexico maintained their dominance in the second half with goals from Henry Martín, Jorge Sánchez, and a penalty by Martín in stoppage time. This victory not only secured Mexico's spot in the tournament's semifinals, where they will face Canada, but also earned them an invitation to the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Mexico's performance was highlighted by their overwhelming possession and attacking pressure, which saw them outshoot Honduras significantly. Head coach Javier Aguirre will aim to build on this defensive and offensive showing as the team prepares for upcoming competitive matches. The United States and Panama will contest the other semifinal matchup.
