Mexico will have to face next Tuesday a team from Canada who arrives inspired and eager to deliver a coup of authority, although the statistics leave the Aztecs better off in the history of the last 21 years.
The Selection of Mexico suffered an important defeat against the United States, but with the victory of the Canadians the qualifying table is reduced to such an extent that the difference between Canadians, Mexicans and Americans is 1 point.
Canada’s last victory dates back to the year 2000
Mexico’s unbeaten streak in official matches goes back 21 years ago , in the edition of the Gold Cup, the Canadians were able to overcome an adverse result and beat the Aztec team with a goal from Richard Hastings, minute 92 of the match.
Mexico’s last defeat in Canada was in 1990
By if that were not enough, Mexico will visit the city of Edmonton with a positive streak of 31 years, where it was defeated in the North American Cup of Nations by 2-1. However, in the Qualifiers the streak is even greater and the time must be turned back until 1976, where El Tri was defeated on the way to Argentina 1978.
If the Canadian National Team wins the next match against Mexico and the United States loses or draws against Jamaica, the Maple Leaf team will be the leader of the Octagonal table of Concacaf.
