The decision to award Mexico a penalty late in their Gold Cup semi-final win over Panama was a wrong one, CONCACAF have admitted but the body won't reverse the decision.
CONCACAF have admitted errors were made in Mexico's controversial semi-final win over Panama in the Gold Cup. American referee Mark Geiger's decision to award Miguel Herrera's side a penalty in the 89th-minute was met with a temporary walk-off protest from Panama's players.
Following the match, Costa Rica - denied by a dubious penalty call in the quarter-finals against Mexico - joined forces with Panama to lobby FIFA and CONCACAF to investigate whether any match-fixing had taken place.
