The Mexico national team sealed his ticket to the final of the gold Cup after beating the always tough Jamaican National Team with a final score of 2-0 at Allegiant Stadium. Now those directed by Jaime Lozano faces will be seen against Panama and they have the opportunity to vindicate their poor performances in the World Cup in Qatar and in the League of Nations.

Barely at minute two of the game, the Americanist Henry Martín put the Tri in front and he directed the match against some “Reggae Boys” who were incredulous and to whom the goal changed his entire work plan early.

At minute 30, the Mexican National Team would continue directing its pass to the grand final when the midfielder Luis Chávez scored the second goal for those led by Jaime Lozano that already in half an hour they sniffed the final of the tournament. A true jewel of a free kick from the man born in Chihuatlán and who will undoubtedly compete to be the goal of the cup.

The Mexicans, who had just won Costa Rica without any problem, did not want any kind of surprises against those led by Heimir Hallgrímsson. However the revolutions dropped in a second half that was a mere procedurethe Jamaicans tried but it would not be enough, the Tri was on its way to the grand final.

Jamaica was trying through shots from Gray and approaches from Michail Antoniobut everything was there, while Mexico also sought to increase the score through Uriel Antuna and Santi Giménez, who appeared offside.

As a curiosity Allegiant Stadium was only half full, reason that suggests that the fans in Las Vegas have not forgiven the defeat suffered by El Tri a month ago against the United States. Just over 29,000 people entered a stadium with a capacity of 65,000.

Now Mexico will face Panama in a repeat of what was the match for third place in the Nations League and in which the victory went to the Mexican national team with a score of 1-0.
