Mexico is determined to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament by securing a victory against Ecuador. A tie or a loss would result in elimination for El Tri. In case of a draw between Mexico and Ecuador, both teams will have four points, but Ecuador will progress due to their superior goal difference.
If Mexico wins, they will secure their spot in the knockout stage, with their next opponent depending on the outcome of the Group B match between Venezuela and Jamaica. Venezuela has already secured six points and is guaranteed a place in the knockout round. Jamaica, playing for pride after being eliminated, could upset Venezuela with a strong performance and potentially claim second place in the group.
The team finishing first in Group B will face Canada in the next round, while the second place team will have to face off against Argentina, the current World Cup and Copa América champions.
