The Mexican National Team led by Javier 'Vasco' Aguirre is preparing to face Honduras in the quarter-finals of the Nations League. This tournament represents the first major challenge for Aguirre after defeating the United States 2-0 in a friendly match, the main rival in Concacaf. It is worth noting that in the last Nations League, Mexico fell to this opponent in the final.
The quarter-finals will be played in two matches and the aggregate result will determine which team advances to the semi-finals. The first match between Honduras and Mexico will take place on Friday, November 15, at the Estadio General Francisco Morazán, while the return match will be held on Tuesday, November 19, at the Estadio Nemesio Diez.
Regarding the call-up of the Mexican National Team, Aguirre announced a list that combines young and experienced players, including Julián Quiñones, Guillermo Ochoa, and Raúl Jiménez, the latter being the author of one of the goals in the recent match against the United States.
The last time Mexico faced Honduras was in the 2023 Nations League, where the team led by Jaime Lozano secured their spot in the penalty round after an unfavorable score in the first leg. In the last 10 encounters, the Mexican National Team has dominated with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.
This is how excitement returns with official FIFA games, and anticipation for Mexico's performance in this stage of the Nations League grows among football fans in the country.
