This tournament will decide which four teams will automatically qualify for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil and Mexico is hopeful they will be one of those four after an eight year absence.
It was a rainy evening but that did not slow down Mexico from reaching their objective. While this tournament had yet to provide big challenges for the team, Pedro Lopez knew he could not let his guard down with Puerto Rico and put forward a strong lineup. The moment the whistle blew Mexico started pressing the Puerto Rico defense and had multiple chances to score early on.
Maria Sanchez, Kiana Palacios and Scarlet Camberos each had a pair of occasions to score but they missed all of their chances. It wasn’t until the 10th minute when Alexia Delgado opened the score with a goal right inside the box. Alice Soto sent a cross into the box, which goalkeeper Sydney Martinez punched away but the rebound landed at the feet of Delgado who shot the ball right into the back of the net with the first of the night.
