Mexico and El Salvador face a do or die game on Monday in the Central American and Caribbean Games. Both teams come from an opening game loss and will need a victory for a chance to make it to the Semifinals. Mexico had a bad debut and lost to Venezuela by 2-1. Meanwhile, El Salvador lost to Haiti by the score of 1-0. Mexico and El Salvador will now need to go for a victory as a loss would surely eliminate the losing team.
Mexico came into the tournament heavily favored, with many of the players coming from a second place finish in the Toulon Tournament, including highly regarded talent Diego Lainez.
