On paper, Mexico looks like the big favorite to not only win the match, but also the Gold Cup. Bookmakers are predicting a favorable match in terms of goals between both teams, which will also have their revenge in the coming months in the Concacaf qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup to be held in Qatar.

"I have been here for a year and a half. I have a Mexican son and thanks to that I will be able to apply for permanent residency, but that does not give me nationality. I think I have to stay here for five years, the same amount of time that FIFA requires", said Juan Ignacio Dinenno about his naturalization and the possibility of following in Funes Mori's footsteps in an interview with Diario Olé. 

For this match, tickets flew like hot cakes. A few moments after going on sale through a press release, the Concacacf organization stated that tickets were no longer available. For this match, the Arizona Cardinals Stadium will open three hours before the game for greater convenience. 

 

One of the men of the Mexican National Team who has had less spotlight but who is being essential in this Gold Cup for the Aztecs is Alfredo Talavera, goalkeeper of Club Universidad Nacional, with his great performances he became the third goalkeeper to leave a clean sheet in the group stage in the history of Mexico in the tournament, Talavera will offer his experience and security for the upcoming commitment. 

One of the men who is causing the most headaches for the rival attackers is Romell Quioto, Honduran player, who scored a double in the group stage for the Blue and Whites, and will now be looking to continue his goal-scoring streak for the cause. 

Guatemalan-born Mario Alberto Escobar Toca will referee Mexico-Honduras in the quarterfinals of the 2021 Gold Cup at the Arizona Cardinals.

The team led by Martino has a high percentage of effectiveness, but there are still too many doubts about the performance that has led the Tricolor fans to reproach for the lack of spectacle and the high number of goals that they were used to in this type of tournaments throughout history. Mexico advanced to the next round as first place in the group with 7 points, the result of 2 wins and a draw against Trinidad and Tobago. 

The Hondurans, Mexico's rival for the quarterfinal round and who have a great rivalry with the Aztecs, especially during the World Cup qualifiers, will have the mission of ruining the Tricolor's party at the Cuscatlan Stadium. Honduras qualified second in the group, with two victories and one loss, falling behind the guest team of Qatar, the next host of the 2022 World Cup.  

This afternoon, the quarterfinal match will take place at the University of Phoenix Stadium, where more than 60,000 spectators will be able to watch the game at the multi-use stadium shared by the Arizona Cardinals.
