Hector Herrera scored in the 99th minute Thursday to give Mexico a 2-1 win over Canada and a berth in the Gold Cup final — a heartbreaker for a Canadian side that deserved a better fate.
HOUSTON — Hector Herrera scored in the 99th minute Thursday to give Mexico a 2-1 win over Canada and a berth in the Gold Cup final against the U.S.
Canada failed to clear the ball after a late Mexican attack and eventually it went to Herrera at the edge of the crowded penalty box where he fired a left-footed shot home. The late goal touched off a melee between players as bad blood boiled over not for the first time on the evening.
The Mexican players ran to midfielder Jonathan Dos Santos during their goal celebration. His father passed away earlier in the day. A second penalty was awarded to Mexico after video review with Kaye judged to have fouled Corona in the corner of the Canadian penalty box well away from the goal. But a diving Crepeau stopped Salcedo's penalty attempt in the 66th minute to keep the score knotted.
