Rodolfo Pizarro is making his first start of the Gold Cup for Mexico against Costa Rica in the quarterfinals.
The Monterrey winger replaces Roberto Alvarado , who started all three group matches for Tata Martino's men, with the Argentine manager going with what appears to be his strongest XI in the quarterfinal tie.
Pizarro is joined on the front line by Raul Jimenez and Uriel Antuna , who has been a revelation throughout the competition with his nose for goals. Antuna has netted four times through three matches despite being a late addition to the side.
