This is how Mexico arrives

The Mexican soccer team qualified for the final of the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup by beating Jamaica 3-0 this Wednesday in their semifinal played at the Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas before 29,800 spectators.

Henry Martín, at minute 2, Luis Chávez, at 30, and Roberto Alvarado, at 90+3, scored the goals for the Mexican victory.

As soon as the game began, the Mexican team attacked in a counterattack, the left back Jesús Gallardo appeared in the corridor of the Jamaican area and sent the ball to the center where Martín controlled the pass and made it 1-0.

At 10, the Caribbean goalkeeper Andre Blake jumped on his left side to deflect a shot that Erick Sánchez connected from the edge of the area and that was looking for the lower right corner.

Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa was in action until the 24th when he held off a mid-range shot from Demarai Ramelle Gray.

The first half hour of the game was over when Mexico found it 2-0. Chávez took a free kick with a touch that broke the barrier and entered the Caribbean goal through the left hairpin.

As soon as the second half started, Jamaica looked for the discount goal. At 46, Michael Antonio tried the shot from outside the area and the ball went to one side of the right post.

As the minutes passed, Jamaica began to gain meters in front. At 70, Antonio appeared in the heart of the ‘Tri’ area and hit a shot that Ochoa stopped without problems.

At 75, Antonio launched the attack in the last quarter of the field, entered the area and delivered his shot to the Mexican goalkeeper.

Mexico got rid of Jamaica’s pressure and at 81 got closer to the third goal with a touch from Luis Romo inside the area that Joel Latibeaudiere solved.

Jamaica’s last chance was a free kick that Leon Baily sent to one side of the Mexican goal, at 90+1.

Mexico made it 3-0 at 90+3 when ‘Piojo’ Alvarado appeared in the area to finish off a Gallardo pass from point-blank range.

In this way, Mexico got into the Gold Cup final for the eleventh time in history; of the 10 previous finals, they won eight (1993, 1996, 1998, 2003, 2009, 2011, 2015 and 2019) and lost two (2007 and 2021).

In the first semifinal played at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California, Panama beat the United States 5-4 on penalties after drawing 1-1 in extra time.

This is how Panama arrives

With a saving performance by goalkeeper Orlando Mosquera, Panama beat the United States 5-4 on penalties on Wednesday (1-1 in 120 minutes) and qualified for its third Concacaf Gold Cup final.

The Central American squad took the lead through Iván Anderson in the 99th minute, but the Colombian-American Jesús Ferreira equalized for the locals in the 105th minute at the Snapdragon Stadium (San Diego, United States).

Unlike the last tie against Canada, the United States succumbed this time in a penalty shootout to the success of goalkeeper Mosquera, who saved the shots from Ferreira himself and Cristian Roldán.

After eliminating the defending champions, Panama will compete on Sunday for its first Gold Cup trophy against the winner of Wednesday’s other semifinal between Mexico and Jamaica.

The students of the Spanish-Danish Thomas Christiansen enjoyed a revenge against the United States for the defeats in their last two trips to the Gold Cup final, in 2005 and 2013.

“Getting into this grand final is the dream of every Panamanian. It’s a long-suffering victory but that’s how it’s best savored”, declared Christiansen, who was kept in office despite being left out of the last World Cup in Qatar.

Panama has remained undefeated throughout this Gold Cup, showing that it is ready to aspire to its first regional victory.

“We knew it was going to be almost impossible to beat the United States at home, with the fans supporting them, but we had to seize the few hopes that fell on our side,” said Christiansen, a former Barcelona player. “We have already won but we want to complete the path and give Panama a title, which deserves it.”

‘Team USA’, competing with an alternative team without its greatest figures, was left without a second consecutive title that would have placed it, along with Mexico, at the top of the tournament’s record with eight crowns.

“I think we had a very balanced team, with veterans to take leadership roles and youngsters who can have a place towards the World Cup in 2026,” said BJ Callaghan, interim United States head coach, defending his roster construction.

“We are disappointed not to retain the title but we had other goals, such as giving young players as much experience as possible,” said Callaghan, who will now step down to re-signed Gregg Berhalter.

Except for specific moments of the game, the United States was generally surpassed by a Panama that adapted much better to the hot conditions in San Diego.

The locals issued the first warning with only 20 seconds left, with a shot at the post by Cade Cowell, but the Central American team quickly recovered from the scare and launched the most dangerous arrivals into the rival area.

The locals tried to step on the accelerator in the second half but neither Ferreira nor the Mexican-American Brandon Vázquez materialized their clear chances.

Regulation time ended with a huge controversy over a disallowed goal against Ismael Díaz for offside in minute 93 in which Panama claimed a possible previous handball in the area by American Djordje Mihailovic.

As against Canada, the United States found themselves facing the abyss again when Iván Anderson, who had come on as a substitute, received at the back of the defense, tapped out Matt Turner’s desperate exit and scored on empty goal.

When the Canal squad saw the final, Ferreira appeared to set the tie, turning a ball hung into the area into a lucky and precise volley to the opposite post.

The son of former Colombian international David Ferreira celebrated his seventh goal in this Gold Cup, equaling the record for an American soccer player set by Clint Dempsey in the 2015 edition.

Although he had suffered from cramps, Ferreira took responsibility for the first penalty of the shootout and saw Mosquera save it.

A mistake by Cristian Martínez gave air to the United States again but Mosquera appeared again to clear Cristian Roldán’s shot and allow Adalberto Carrasquilla, the team’s figure in the tournament, to seal the Panamanian ticket to the final on Sunday in Los Angeles .
