On the night between Sunday and Monday, March 24, two crucial matches of the Concacaf Nations League took place. Canada and the USA battled for third place, while Mexico and Panama faced off in the final for the coveted trophy.
The USA’s head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, who previously managed Tottenham, PSG, and Chelsea, had a tough tournament debut. His team suffered a defeat to Panama in the semifinals and was unable to secure even a bronze medal, losing 1-2 to Canada.
For the first time since the tournament began, the United States walked away without a medal, having previously dominated the Concacaf Nations League.
The new champions are Mexico. Raul Jimenez’s brace in the final against Panama helped Mexico claim their first-ever Concacaf Nations League trophy, ending the USA’s reign over the competition.
