Key Player Costa Rica

After the goals that occurred in the last match, one of the key players for the comeback was thanks to former Leon player Joel Campbell, who contributed a goal and despite his seniority still has that spark to make a difference on the field.

Key player Mexico

Although he has been highly criticized by the fans, the reality is that he has responded in the first two games and was key to the victories, although he could not do much to help Mexico avoid defeat in the last game against Qatar, so Uriel Antuna will be the player to watch for this match.

Much room for improvement

Despite last Sunday's defeat, for technical director Jaime Lozano, he considered that it came at a good time with the intention of fine-tuning many things and arriving as well prepared as possible, especially because the following teams could perform the same set-up.

"Surely it is going to affect, but I already see them eager to play again. We would like the next game to be in two days and not in four or five. There are things to improve, there will be opponents who can give us the same scenario", he mentioned in a press conference.

Costa Rica: much room for improvement

In an unprecedented event, Costa Rica beat Martinique in a 10-goal game to qualify as the best second-place team in Group C with 4 points after losing to Panama, drawing against El Salvador and beating Martinique, so now they are tasked with the job of getting the ball rolling and continuing with their goal production.

Mexico: advance to the Semifinals

The Mexican National Team wants to avoid a major failure and has the obligation to advance to the Semifinals round because, despite advancing to the next round as top of the group, the team was disappointed by its performance against Qatar, especially because it generated 25 direct and deflected shots at the opponent's goal and could not score any of them, in addition to the fact that the defense continues to show deficiencies and in the only one that the Asian team generated, they scored a goal, highlighting the certain complicity of Memo Ochoa.

The Kick-off

The Mexico vs Costa Rica match will be played at the AT&T Stadium, in Dallas, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 9:50 pm ET.
