Mexico vs Jamaica live score, updates, highlights from CONCACAF Nations League
After a shaky but successful trip to Suriname where Mexico clinched a 2-0 win, El Tri return to Mexico City to face Jamaica in the CONCACAF Nations League group stage final.
Mexico only needs a draw to win Group A and secure a place in the semifinals. However, a loss to Jamaica would mean an embarrassing end for El Tri. The Reggae Boyz are a brave nation who can stir up excitement on their day, but injuries to Andre Blake and Michail Antonio mean they will face this match with severe limitations.
New Mexico coach Diego Cocca celebrated a debut win against Suriname and is making his home debut here in El Tri’s first game at the Estadio Azteca in almost a year – four days before such a game after he was last at the venue in the year had played On March 30, victory over El Salvador to conclude World Cup qualifiers.
