The Mexico National Team is preparing for an important match in the Concacaf Nations League. In this call-up, the head coach decided to summon six players from the Cruz Azul team, who will form the core of the squad. Notable names include Luis Romo, Carlos Rodríguez, and the surprise Ángel Sepúlveda, who was the top Mexican scorer in the recent tournament. Julián Quiñones and Luis Chávez also return, while Johan Vásquez and Santiago Giménez are absent due to injury.
The previous match between Mexico and Honduras generated a lot of tension, as they faced each other in the same stage of the Nations League last year. After a draw in the aggregate score, Mexico managed to advance to the semifinals in a penalty shootout that was very controversial, with accusations of theft from Honduras. This upcoming match will be a complicated challenge, as Mexico has struggled in its recent visits to Honduras.
Despite this, head coach Javier Aguirre has a perfect record against Honduras, with three victories in the last encounters. The match will take place on Friday, November 15, 2024, at the Estadio General Francisco Morazán at 8:00 PM, central time in Mexico, and will be broadcast on various television channels. The Mexican team seeks to maintain its good momentum in this new phase under Aguirre's leadership.
Regarding the current state of both teams, Mexico arrives strengthened after defeating the United States in the previous FIFA date, while Honduras comes from irregular results in its participation in League A, where it managed to qualify for the quarter-finals. This match promises to be an intense showdown with high expectations regarding the performance of both teams in the Concacaf Nations League.
