Raul Jimenez, Edson Alvarez Lead Mexico Past Panama in CONCACAF Nations League

For the second time in four weeks, Mexico got the best of Panama. El Tri prevailed 3-0 in a 2019 CONCACAF Nations League matchup in Panama City on Friday night.

Raul Jimenez was the star with two goals, including one on a penalty kick. He also assisted on Edson Alvarez's second-half strike.

El Tri has dominated Group B with a 3-0 record and secured a spot in the semifinals thanks to this win. It is the only team in the group with a positive goal differential (plus-9) and has one game remaining against Bermuda.

The three goals in a road game also marked the end of an 81-year drought against Panama for the Mexican team:
