Mexico, who won the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup courtesy of defeating Panama 1-0 in the final in USA, failed to progress beyond the group stage of the Copa America hosted by the same country in June this year. El Tri started off with a narrow 1-0 win over Jamaica, but then collected just one point from their next two group games, against the likes of Venezuela (1-0) and Ecuador (0-0). Thereby finishing third in Group B.
It was also the end of head coach Jamie Lozano's tenure.
New Zealand, on the other hand, are heading into the match on the back of four successive wins in the OFC Nations Cup, with an overall score of 15-0. Darren Bazeley's side have so far posted five clean sheets in six international affairs while suffering only one defeat in normal time, against Egypt (1-0) in a friendly back in March. All Whites are scheduled to play one friendly against hosts USA on Tuesday (local time) before returning home.
