So often the favourites for this tournament, Mexico have had to battle their way to the Gold Cup final this year. Fresh from another defeat to the United States in the semi-finals of the Concacaf Nations League, El Tri looked to be making a great start this tournament, beating Honduras 4-0 before a 3-1 win over Haiti was a little less comfortable than it should have been. That was then followed up by a rather embarrassing 1-0 defeat to Qatar and although Mexico still topped Group B, they were hardly firing on all cylinders. Nevertheless, they’ve cruised through the knockout rounds, beating Costa Rica and Jamaica with five goals scored and none conceded.

In Panama, they’re facing one of the surprise packages of the tournament. The Central American side have only ever reached the Gold Cup final twice before and did so with a surprise win over the United States on penalties in the semi-finals. The USMNT brought a reserve side to the Gold Cup but, even so, Panama have also beaten Costa Rica, Qatar and Martinique at this year’s championships. Mexico certainly can’t afford to take them lightly.

Mexico have no fewer than four players on two goals at this year’s Gold Cup, with Henry Martin, Luis Chavez, Luis Romo and Orbelin Pineda all on a brace. However, nobody in green has managed more so far.

Ismael Diaz is Panama’s top scorer on four goals and is second only to Jesus Ferreira in the entire tournament, though he trails the American striker by three with just one game to go.
