Mexico get a hard fought win at Costa Rica to continue in first place in CONCACAF

Mexico got their second straight win after defeating Costa Rica 1-0 in San Jose. Mexico will continue atop the table after being the only CONCACAF team to get all six points from the two matches played so far in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. Mexico was the better side, but once again a lack of finishing ended up complicating things for them, with Mexico coming close to getting tied during the injury time of the second half. Yet it would have been an unfair result, as Mexico was clearly the superior side and got a key away win. Mexico will now travel to Panama where they will face a surprising second place Panamanian team that just comes off a 3-0 away win against Jamaica, which is the only other win for a team in CONCACAF so far.
