Mexico come back from a goal down to defeat Costa Rica

Raúl Jiménez stepped up to take the 22nd penalty of his career. Attatched to him was a haunting memory of the penalty he missed vs. Uruguay last month, just the second missed penalty of his career and the only one with the national team. This time, though, despite being face-to-face with Costa Rica’s greatest footballer ever in Keylor Navas, Jiménez slotted it home in the bottom left side to give El Tri a 3-2 victory over Costa Rica Thursday night.

71' ¡GOL DE RAÚL ALONSO JIMÉNEZ, VENCE A NAVAS Y HAY VENTAJA DEL 'TRI'!
