Mexico Triumphs Over Canada in Thrilling CONCACAF Nations League Match
Inglewood, California – Mexico secured their place in the CONCACAF Nations League final after a hard-fought victory over Canada at SoFi Stadium. The match, played on March 21, 2025, was a tense affair marked by questionable discipline, with a total of eight yellow cards shown to both teams.
Raul Jimenez was the star for Mexico, scoring two goals (minute 1 and minute 75). While Mexico had less possession (42%), their attacking efficiency proved superior to Canada’s. The Canadians dominated possession (58%) and had more shots (10 to 8), but only one was on target. A disallowed goal for Hirving Lozano in the 39th minute added to the drama for the Mexican side.
Despite Canada’s dominance in possession and shots, Mexico’s clinical finishing and strong defensive display proved decisive. Referee Hector Martinez of El Salvador had a busy night managing the disciplinary side of the match. Mexico’s victory was built on their ability to capitalize on their chances, leaving Canada out of the title race.
