Close to goal area, can a Mexican miss? (6)

I believe the answer is:

latina

'mexican miss?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'close to goal area can a' is the wordplay.
'close to' says to take the final letters (the close/ending of).
'can' becomes 'tin' (both are metal containers).
The last letters of 'goal area' are 'la'.
'la'+'tin'+'a'='LATINA'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
