Mexico and Panama clash in the CONCACAF Nations League final Sunday (9:30 p.m. ET, Paramount+/Univision) with El Tri aiming to reaffirm their regional dominance and Los Canaleros seeking their first major trophy. After a commanding 2-0 win over Canada in Thursday’s semifinal, Mexico enter the final with confidence, backed by a home-field advantage at sold-out SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Led by Raúl Jiménez, Santiago Giménez and a balanced midfield, El Tri will look to continue head coach Javier Aguirre’s disciplined approach while exploiting Panama’s defensive gaps. Panama, fresh off Thursday’s dramatic upset over the U.S. men’s national team, has proven its resilience under head coach Thomas Christiansen.
Panama faces an uphill battle as history favors Mexico (22 wins all time to Panama’s two with six draws), but its recent performances suggest another upset isn’t out of the question. Expect a physical, high-intensity final with players putting everything on the line.
