In a battle billed only for archrivals, Concacaf’s second-place United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) and first place Mexico will face off on Friday, November 12, before a colorful capacity crowd of loyalists at downtown Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium. The match represents another critical game for Team USA as they steadily work through the Concacaf Octagonal tournament that will automatically send its top three finishers to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
After six of 14 total games to be played in the tourney, the U.S. currently sits in second place: three points behind Mexico, one point ahead of Canada, and three above Panama.
