Veronica Corral scored two goals in overtime to give Mexico and 4-2 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the third place match of the CONCACAF Women’s Championship at PPL Park Sunday.

While third place matches rarely have much meaning beyond who will get the consolation bronze medal, the win assured El Tri of a place in next year’s Women’s World Cup in Canada. For Trinidad and Tobago, which lost Friday’s game to Costa Rica in penalty kicks, they get another chance at a spot in the World Cup, with a two game playoff against Ecuador next month.

The game winner came in the 104th minute. Kenti Robles sent a beautiful cross from the right side into the area. From six yards out, Corral settled the ball and slipped it into the left side of the net.
