Coach Eduardo Arce had a great start to his tenure coaching Mexico’s U-20 team after winning their 3 matches in the Torneo del Sol. Mexico defeated the Selección Centro/Sur, Chivas U-17, and Selección Occidente to get all 9 points and qualify to the semifinal. They’ll now face the Liga TDP team, a team made of the best youth players from the Liga TDP (Mexico’s 4th division).
Mexico made their debut against the Selección Centro-Sur, a team made up of the better youth talent in the South and Central region of Mexico. The U-20 team dominated, but were stifled up until a great run from Antonio Herrera finished with a cross into the path of Thiago Gigena, who would open the scoring.
