Mexico Escapes Panama Scare Courtesy Of Diego Lainez Getting Lightly Tapped On His Leg
Mexico secured a tough three points at Estadio Azteca Wednesday night with a narrow 1-0 victory against Panama. The win was anything but confident from El Tri as a late penalty was the only thing to separate the two sides.
Panama looked comfortable inside the mostly empty Estadio Azteca — Mexico was serving its final game with limited attendance after punishments for homophobic chants — and had the better chances in the first half.
Héctor Herrera pulled off some goal line heroics in the 12th minute to deny Panama from taking the lead.
