Mexico started their long summer with a victory after defeating Guatemala 2-0 in a friendly. Mexico were the better team throughout, although they didn’t have a great match, especially in the first half, but got the deserved win nonetheless. The win happened in their first ever match in Kraken Stadium in Mazatlán. El Tri will now travel to the United States where they’ll have one final friendly on Saturday against Cameroon before competing in the Nations League Finals with a semifinal clash against the United States.
The match began for Mexico with a very alternate squad, with Raul Jimenez and Nestor Araujo the veteran leaders surrounded by mostly young players, along with World Cup veterans Carlos Rodriguez and Roberto Alvarado.
