Yet another unconvincing performance from the Mexico national team saw them fall 2–1 to Paraguay in their final game of 2025.
All three goals on the night were scored inside the first 15 minutes of the second half. Antonio Sanabria’s opener was erased by a Raúl Jiménez penalty, bagging his 11th goal for El Tri this calendar year. Yet, Damián Bobadilla scored the match-winner just three minutes later.
Javier Aguirre’s side controlled possession but continued to look completely out-of-sorts in attack. Mexico head into a World Cup year winless since beating the USMNT in the 2025 Gold Cup final in July.
For the second time in as many games and in two different countries, El Tri were booed off the pitch, crowning an absolutely disastrous end to the year. Drastic improvement is necessary in the next seven months as panic alarms are sounding loudly for Mexico.
