Angle, California. Mexico ended the claws on the top of the North and Central American football at the Sufi Stadium on Sunday and climbed back, defeating Panama 2-1 and winning its first Konkak Nation League.
It climbed literally and symbolic, climbing the back of the waterball once in 92 minutes once and once, twice and once, once and once, on the back of Raul Gymines, literally and symbolically.
At the time of a physical, fractured game, after a stupid and astonishing handball in Panama, Gymians stepped up and put their stamps on a tournament in their property. He changed the fines, and only stood up when the bed burst around it. The team’s colleagues mobilized it. Some 60,000 fans broke out. Hundreds of beer cups rained towards the field. Pizza boxes flew.
The clutch came up from Raul Gymnases P.

And Mexico again claimed on the throne of Konkak that for decades, they had.
In recent years, El Tree handed over the throne to the United States. Or, but rather, the United States occupied it-the Drama Nation League award in 2021, then a tremendous title defense in 2023, and three stomachs like a business in 2024. The American, trusting and emerging, looked like new kings in the region. American protector Antony Robinson said at the same moment, “I want to win this trophy, and just let us win it, gets bored for people.”
But a year later, the United States flopped in its semi -finals. Mexico reunited with Canada in the second semi, and won its first National League on Sunday without facing defending champs.
It was not dominant, not irreparable, not irreparable. This could have happened after the initial goal of the gymnasium, but this week’s most impressive Konkak team Panama fought. In the first half -stop page time, Los Canaliros They won their penalty, and their pressure was over. Adalberto Kerskola scored on the spot. The match went to the half -time level.
Mexico worked mostly in the second half. Anxiety spread to a crowd of 68,212. So the discrimination “P ***” slogan, which was at least six times, and forced the referee Mario Scubar to briefly suspend the match. At that time, it was still the level and the lock, with no locks on any side.
But then, nowhere, a clumsy Panamini arm appeared, and a golden opportunity fell at that time and the weekend.
A 33 -year -old star, Jamens, fought for years after suffering a skull at the end of 2020. Even after returning to full health, he went further and further from his prime, off the form that once made him the most frightened player in Konkak. He went away so far that he was excluded from the Mexican team for Copa Amirika last summer.
But in 2024-25, it has taken a turn. On a 90 -minute basis, he is scoring more in the Premier League after he moved to England seven years ago.
And if it was not enough evidence that he is ReturnFully back, Gymians proved it this week.
He scored in the first minute of the Mexican semi -final, exploding in Canada’s defense. He sealed the victory on Thursday A wonderful free kickA curler who defeated Canadian goalkeeper Dan St. Claire both strength and health.
Three days later, he only needed eight minutes to take it from where he left. Its back post header forwarded Mexico 1-0.
For the remaining 90, it got a small service. The same old flaws of Mexico – the lack of creativity and invading structures – reopened. The game has moved towards extra time, and there seems to be more likely to get there.
But once Scubar pointed to the opportunity, there was little doubt about the final results. There was no doubt about who wins the “Best Player” award of the tournament. And there was no doubt about what Mexico and Gymens personally mean in this title.
Five years ago, his horrific injury, as Head Coach Javier Agari, said, “All was painful for Mexico.”
His return has been impressive and winner.
“It is amazing to come back after what I am going on,” Gymnases told CBS Sports After lifting the Nations League Trophy. “I’m really happy. This is just a good example that you will never have to lose faith.”
