Fulham striker Jimenez - who had also bagged a brace in a semi-final win over Canada - slotted a stoppage time penalty to settle a pulsating final battle at SoFi Stadium.
Jimenez, 33, converted the winning spot-kick in the second minute of stoppage time after Panama defender Jose Cordoba needlessly flung an arm out at a cross to concede a handball.
Jimenez paid tribute to the impact of Mexico coach Javier Aguirre following the victory. Aguirre, 66, began his third stint as Mexico coach in 2024 after previously leading the side in 2001-2002, and 2009-2010.
"This is what we wanted from day one, since 'Vasco' (Aguirre) arrived," Jimenez said, referring to the Mexico coach by his popular nickname.
Jimenez's four-goal contribution to Mexico's Nations League finals campaign was the latest chapter in what has been a fairytale return from injury from the veteran Premier League striker.
