Beverly Priestman stated prior to this match: "I feel for Mexico because they are a great team with a great coach. They're disappointed they didn't score because I also think it's a credit to the teams they've played against."

"Our midfield has to dominate and step up to guard against their counterattacks. Panama has the ability to play direct and run behind our defense, we have to pay attention to the set pieces as well."

"When you play against these teams and attack a lot, they can catch you off guard in defense. We talk about no matter who we play against, we have to be balanced and at the same time play with freedom and fluidity. I'm confident we can do what we need to do.

Costa Rica beat Trinidad and Tobago four goals to nil in their last game, so they are currently in first place on goal difference alone.
