Mexico squeak past Haiti to get to the U17 CONCACAF Tournament final.

Mexico got a place in the final of the U17 CONCACAF Tournament after getting past a very tough Haitian side. With a 1-0 victory, Mexico had a tough time against the best team they had faced all tournament although they were the slightly better team and it wasn’t a bad performance as the U20 team had last year in Bradenton. Still Mexico had a tough time and the result was up in the air for 90 minutes even with Haiti coming in after playing 120 minutes in their prior game. Mexico will now face the hosts United States, who will probably come in as the favored team after crushing Canada by 4-0 in their semifinal while also being the most consistent side, unlike Mexico who struggled in their Round of 16 game as well as the semifinal.
