Mexico closed out their Gold Cup preparations with a 4-0 victory over a Nigeria squad that was very inexperienced. It was complete domination against a Nigerian team that had no cohesion and were totally out of their element. Yet it was a great test for Mexico, as it was a rival that lent itself perfectly to get Mexican players to prepare after their post Nations League break. Mexico played a rival that didn’t pose much of a threat, putting up a good performance prior to a tournament where Mexico is heavily favored to win it.
The first half started with Mexico giving their first start to Rogelio Funes Mori at forward, as he was paired up with Hirving Lozano and Jesus Corona.
