Yesterday, @miseleccionmx.bsky.social got a 2-0 win over the @canadasocceren.bsky.social team thanks to Raúl Jiménez's two goals and Mexico's solid defence.

Why did I let Canada get my hopes up #CANvMEX
The 14U team I coach doesn’t know how lucky they are that Canada did not score after @jessemarsch.bsky.social held up the ‘X’ on the corner kick, because if Canada had scored I would have stolen that idea for set pieces. #CANvMEX
Canada is going to score a goal in this match. It will either be Davies or a rebound off one of his shots.
What I don’t know is if it will come before or after Mexico scores another goal. #CANvMEX
I did not expect to see Johnston back on the field to start the second half since the referee essentially told him his next foul is a second yellow. #CANvMEX
It feels like CONCACAF has a standing policy to ignore the chant until halfway through the second half. #CANvMEX
Well, now. Less than one minute in, Mexico scores!
¡Viva México!

90' - Four minutes added on.
🇨🇦 2-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
89' - GOAL: #CanWNT/#CanXNT [2]-0 🇲🇽 Mexico
Les Rouges do find their second goal after all — a loose ball poked through by Nichelle Prince and Évelyne Viens trickles to a wide-open Adriana Leon who just has to tap it into the back of the net!
🇨🇦 2-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
82' - A deflected Évelyne Viens strike earns Canada their sixth corner of the afternoon... but it's headed away by Servín.
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
79' - Mexico with another change in the wake of a Canadian one, this one up top as they look for an equaliser.
IN: Myra Delgaldillo
OUT: Jasmine Casarez
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
76' - Sixth (and theoretically final) change for Canada.
IN: Marie Alidou
OUT: Julia Grosso
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
70' - Mexico pressing high against a Canadian side looking to build out of the back... both sides trying to get out of the lurch that's slowly developed after all the stoppages.
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
66' - Two more for Mexico as well.
IN: Reyna Reyes, Diana García
OUT: Karla Nieto, Kenti Robles
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX

IN: Ashley Lawrence
OUT: Gabrielle Carle
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
63' - Adriana Leon with a shot from distance, not on target.
Canada still trying to push ahead for a second amidst all of the starts and stops from subs and pauses in play.
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
60' - Three changes for Les Rouges just past the hour mark.
IN: Nichelle Prince, Évelyne Viens, Emma Regan
OUT: Jordyn Huitema, Janine Sonis, Olivia Smith
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
57' - A tight bit of one-touch interplay between Olivia Smith and Jordyn Huitema is able to advance the ball up the pitch but the attack fizzles out.
It eventually comes back out to Janine Sonis at the top of the box — strike well over the bar, though.
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
50' - GOAL: #CanWNT/#CanXNT [1]-0 🇲🇽 Mexico
Vanessa Gilles, on her milestone 50th cap for country, gets the last touch (in the *51st* minute) on an Olivia Smith-to-Jordyn Huitema connection from the corner flag to give Canada the lead!
🇨🇦 1-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
46' - Pedro López makes Mexico's second and third subs of the night, both attacking changes.
IN: Karol Bernal, Mayra Pelayo-Bernal
OUT: Alice Soto, Nicole Pérez
🇨🇦 0-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX

IN: Shelina Zadorsky
OUT: Megan Reid
🇨🇦 0-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
46' - KICKOFF: Mexico get action back underway in Spain — although Canada jump on the ball off the start and generate a half-chance or two.
🇨🇦 0-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
HT: #CanWNT/#CanXNT 0-0 🇲🇽 Mexico
That was... an interesting half, to say the least.
A chippy first 45' sees both sides enter the break level in score, but not in number of players on the pitch after Annia Mejía's double-booking just before the break.
🇨🇦 0-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
45' - Four minutes of stoppage time tacked onto the end of this first half.
🇨🇦 0-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
40' - RED CARD, Mexico.
Annia Mejía, after making it through the last challenge on Huitema unscathed, is sent off after a third reckless tackle, this time on Adriana Leon.
🇨🇦 0-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
35' - Talking about chippy... Annia Mejía — who is on a booking — leaves one in on Jordyn Huitema.
Huitema seems to be winded but okay after Mejía stepped in front of the Canadian off the ball.
🇨🇦 0-0 🇲🇽 | #CANvMEX
