No two teams in CONCACAF are feeling better about their World Cup qualifying performances than Mexico and Panama. Both recorded huge away wins in the first round, and they’ll both feel like very strong favorites to make it to Russia if they can pull off a win on Tuesday.
Mexico vs. Panama 2016 live stream: How to watch El Tri online
El Tri can get all but lock up a World Cup berth a year early, while Panama makes themselves favorites to finish top three with a win of their own.
Joe Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports
El Tri pulled off their first World Cup qualifying victory away to the United States since the Americans established a professional league, with longtime captain Rafa Márquez scoring the winner in their 2-1 triumph. Panama, meanwhile, grabbed a win away to Honduras. Los Canaleros have never qualified for the World Cup.
Both teams will be leaning on legends who were assumed to be well past their usefulness to their national teams. Marquez is likely to suit up for El Tri again, and he might get to engage in yet another battle with Blas Pérez, Panama’s 35-year-old striker, who will make his 111th appearance for his country if he appears on Tuesday.
