Mexico v Panama: Herrera unhappy ahead of semi-final

Mexico coach Miguel Herrera was left unhappy after his team shared a flight to Atlanta with CONCACAF Gold Cup semi-final opponents Panama.

A delay of several hours for their flight from New Jersey led to the nine-time champions sharing a flight with Panama.

They arrived later than anticipated ahead of Wednesday's clash at the Georgia Dome, where a team will book their spot in the final against either United States or Jamaica.

"What surprises me is that Mexico is the one that gets them [CONCACAF money], which makes the stadiums full," Herrera said.

"The whole process has treated us different from the other teams. We've paid a lot."

Hernan Dario Gomez's men are yet to win in regulation, after drawing three group games and needing spot-kicks in their last outing.
