The Fulham striker scored all four of Mexico’s goals in LACanada defeated a lackluster US in the third-place game
Raúl Jiménez scored his second goal on a penalty kick in the second minute of second-half stoppage time, and Mexico beat Panama 2-1 Sunday night to win the Concacaf Nations League tournament for the first time.
Jiménez, the 33-year-old Fulham striker, dominated the week at SoFi Stadium with all four of Mexico’s goals in El Tri’s two matches. He scored on a header in the eighth minute against Panama, and he finally cashed in on the penalty awarded when defender José Córdoba touched the ball with his inexplicably outstretched arm while chasing after it in the 90th minute.
