Despite the closing of the group stage was not the most desired by the “Tata”, in the global calculation the rating of Mexico’s first round is positive: El Tri did not allow a single goal and qualified as the leader of their group.
” We won the group, they didn’t score us and we played well, but we must improve the definition. We watch the matches of 90 minutes and In this way, we believe that we deserved to win the three games we played “, he added at the post-match press conference.
Mexico will meet its rival in the quarterfinals this Tuesday. They will face the second place in group D, which could well be Honduras, Qatar or Panama, the three teams that will compete for the pass to the next round in that group.
To work hard for the Rooms! ⚽️ 🇲🇽
