Mexico started their campaign in the 2022 Maurice Revello Tournament with a 1-0 victory over Ghana. Mexico left it late, but were able to get the solitary goal that gave them the victory. Although Mexico was the better team in the first half and overall, they wilted under the sunny conditions unlike Ghana, who later in the match were the better side because of it. Mexico is tied in first place along with Venezuela, their next rival, who also won on Monday by a 1-0 score over Indonesia.
The first half started with Mexico coming out with a strong lineup including players like Santiago Muñoz, Eugenio Pizzuto, and Santiago Naveda in the starting eleven.
