Panama and Mexico face each other in the second semi-final of the CONCACAF Nations League, with the winner facing either the USMNT or Jamaica in the final.
Mexico progressed after reverting a 2-0 deficit against Honduras in the second leg of the tie, eventually winning 4-2 on penalties. For Panama, it was a much smoother journey to the semi-finals, as they comfortably beat 6-1 on aggregate.
The teams know each other well, as they played each other in the 2023 Gold Cup final, with Mexico winning that one 1-0. Panama, who look like a team on a mission, will be looking to write their wrongs as they face El Tri in Texas.
