A win in this game puts Mexico through to the 2019 U-20 World Cup and will knock El Salvador out of the 2018 CONCACAF Men’s U-20 Championship.
El Tri had a moment of vulnerability in the Group Stage, played to a 2-2 draw by Jamaica, but outscored its last two opponents in Group B by an aggregate score of 18-0 to reassert its status as a dominant team at this level in CONCACAF.
Armed with the tournament’s top-scorer, Jose Macias, and one of the most highly-rated teenage prospects in the region - Diego Lainez - Mexico will feel confident in its ability to conjure the goals necessary to subdue El Salvador.
