Mexico had a tough battle but they were able to prevail and win their third straight U23 CONCACAF Championship, defeating Honduras in a penalty shootout by a 5-4 score. Mexico had come from behind to get a 1-1 tie in regular time and suffered for 120 minutes but were able to get a title, their first in a penalty shootout. Honduras battled hard and took control of the match after Mexico’s coach Jaime Lozano couldn’t get control of the match after a substitution didn’t play out well. Both Mexico and Honduras will go to the Olympics as CONCACAF’s representatives after their semifinal wins on Sunday against Canada and the United States respectively.
