To win the event, Mexico first defeated a strong Canada team, 2-0, behind goals by star Fulham striker Raul Jimenez, who scored the opener in the very first minute of the match. Canada was never able to recover from that early setback. Following the impressive Canada win, Mexico then defeated Panama 2-1, again thanks to a brace by Jimenez, who was in unbelievable form at the time. The win did not come easily for Mexico, however, as the match was tied 1-1 in the 90th minute, when Mexico earned a penalty, which Jimenez cooly slotted home to earn Mexico the Cup victory. Switzerland, meanwhile, is 1-1-1 in its last three matches, most recently defeating Luxembourg 3-1 behind goals by Ruben Vargas, Breel Embolo, and Miro Muheim, with all three goals being scored in the first 30 minutes.

Shinty: Kingussie maintain advantage at Mowi Premiership summit
Victories for the top four left the business end of the Mowi Premiership unchanged, with Kingussie maintaining their slender one-point lead at the summit. The league leaders had to work hard for a 1-0 win at the home of determined bottom side Beauly. Advertisement Oban Camanachd edged Kinlochshiel by the same score in Wester Ross and Fort William defeated Kyles 2-1 at Tighnabruich. Newtonmore extended their run to seven straight league and cup victories, 4-0 against visitors Caberfeidh and in Portree, Skye escaped the second relegation place, consigning Lovat to it on a 5-2 scoreline. Ferguson Balliemore Cup favourites Lochaber ground out a 2-1 victory over Oban Celtic at Mossfield Park. Thomas Borthwick's goal midway through the first half was all that separated champions Kingussie and a Beauly side which looked far better than their league position suggests. Advertisement A first-half Daniel MacVicar penalty kept Oban Camanachd in second place. Fort William kept in pursuit when Calum Shepherd scored just before half-time and Ewen Campbell just after, with Roddy MacDonald's counter insufficient to salvage anything for Kyles. Fourth-placed Newtonmore opened up a four-point gap over their opponents when Joe Coyle and Iain Robinson made it 2-0 at the interval, before Robinson's second and a goal from Conor Jones completed the job. Willie MacKinnon, Ross Gordon and Ruaraidh MacLeod all scored for Skye late in the first half. James MacPherson pulled one back for Lovat and Dan MacDonald made it 4-1 before Cameron MacMillan grabbed the visitors' second and MacLeod completed a double in stoppage time to round it off. Advertisement Lovat now contemplate the MacTavish Cup final against Kingussie from second bottom place in the league with an extra game played. Oban Celtic created a whiff of a Balliemore upset when Kyle MacFarlane put them ahead as the interval beckoned, but a Shaun Nicholson double eventually put Lochaber through. Inverness rushed to a 4-0 lead against Strathglass from the league above them before prevailing 4-2. Cup specialists Inveraray disposed of Aberdour 4-0 including a Lewis Montgomery hat-trick and Col Glen progressed 3-0 on penalties after 120 minutes of play produced a 3-3 draw with Glasgow Mid Argyll.

Carson Hocevar living the dream back home in Michigan as aggressive, headline-grabbing NASCAR driver
Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Carson Hocevar grew up 80 miles west of Michigan International Speedway, where he attended his first race at the age of 5. As a kid in Portage, he dreamed of becoming a NASCAR driver that people talked about. The 22-year-old Hocevar got his wish. He knocked Ricky Stenhouse Jr. out of last week's race at Nashville and his aggressive style has created a buzz in a sport that traditionally has young drivers trying to find the line between aggressive and reckless driving. 'It's cool to be talked about,' Hocevar said Saturday, a day ahead of the FireKeepers Casino 400. 'Obviously, you want to be talked about maybe in a different light. "But I mean, at least they're talking, right? And, I think that's big for me.' Hocevar called Stenhouse earlier in the week to discuss their contact on Lap 106 of 300 at Nashville, where Stenhouse was bumped from behind and sent into a wall. Both said the conversation was productive. 'I don't think he crashed me on purpose,' Stenhouse said. "But I think he was super impatient. 'We've never had any issues. He's had plenty of issues with other people.' Hocevar, in his second full Cup season, was behind only winner Ryan Blaney at Nashville to match the career-best, second-place finish he had earlier this year. At the race in Atlanta, several drivers complained about Hocevar over the radio or some addressed their concerns face to face in pit lane. Blaney, who got turned by Hocevar in the final stage of the race, and Ross Chastain confronted him in February. Chastain sounded frustrated that Hocevar, who drives the No. 77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports, has not appeared to learn from his mistakes. His latest move was reckless, Chastain said. 'Yeah, 47 spun off his front bumper,' he said. 'Been there, done that.' Blaney has, too. 'You can say you're sorry all you want, but if you don't learn from them and make a change, then everyone thinks you're lying,' Blaney said. A new wrinkle NASCAR's 'In-season Challenge' will begin seeding drivers Sunday and at the following two races in Mexico City and at Pocono. The results will create a field of 32 drivers, who will race for a $1 million prize over a five-race competition starts June 28 at Atlanta. Single elimination will reduce the field to 16 in Chicago, eight at Sonoma, four in Dover and the final two on July 27 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The NBA has had success with a similar format. 'It's like the March Madness bracket,' said Blaney, whose No. 12 Ford finished first last week at Nashville. "You want to do well to seed yourself against an easier opponent. "It could be big. It could grow. I think it's a great idea. Why not try it? You're still going to have racing. It's just going to be a race within the race between all the guys.' Pressing priorities Denny Hamiln is prepared to leave his No. 11 Toyota behind this weekend to join his fiancé, Jordan, who is due to give birth to a baby boy — their third child — at any time. Hamlin, who is also juggling his role as the co-owner of a team suing NASCAR, said he would skip next week's race in Mexico City if necessary to witness the birth of his boy. Hendrick's drought Hendrick Motorsports has won a record 316 Cup races, but hasn't finished first at Michigan in more than a decade. Jeff Gordon's third win on the track was the team's ninth and that was way back on Aug. 17, 2014. 'It's just kind of surprising because I don't feel like it's a track that we struggle at by any means,' said Kyle Larson, who drives the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick. "Every time we've been here, we've been one of the fastest and up front. 'It's not a track like Nashville, where where we struggle.' Odds and Ends Larson at +300 is the betting favorite to win Sunday, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, followed by points leader William Byron (+375), defending race champion Tyler Reddick (+500) and Christopher Bell (+550). ___ AP auto racing: recommended
