Mexico failed to impress but got a win over hosts Guatemala by a 2-0 score. With the win, Mexico officially booked their ticket to the Round of 16 and guarantees at least a second place finish in Group E. Still, the match left a lot of doubt in a game that was filled with fouls and in which Guatemala getting a red card actually hampered the match, after a poor performance from referee Joseph Dickerson. Mexico closes out their group stage participation with a match against Panama, where a win or tie would give Mexico the first place finish in the group.
