Mexico laid the foundation in the opening half, going in front before the interval and taking a 1-0 edge into the dressing room. That kept the match firmly in their hands and put pressure on Panama to chase the game in the second period.
Instead, the contest swung even more heavily toward Mexico after the restart. Three more goals followed in the second half, turning a close score at the break into a one-sided result by full time. Panama could not find a way back, and the clean sheet only added to the authority of the win.
For readers looking for the quick highlights, the split is simple: 1-0 at half-time, 4-0 at full-time. The score told the story, and the basic stats behind it were just as stark - Mexico finished with four goals, Panama with none.
It also made for a very different outcome from the teams' previous meeting, which had ended 1-1. This time there was no late twist and no doubt over the final result, only a convincing Mexico performance and an emphatic summary of the night.
