The last time these two teams met was on March 27, 2022, and on that occasion the match ended in a 1–0 victory for Mexico at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano. That clash was full of fouls, yellow cards, corner kicks and a number of goals, which we hope will be repeated today.
Mexico and Honduras have faced each other several times. The last 5 matches have ended with 3 wins for Mexico, one draw and on another occasion the winner was Honduras.

You have to be careful with these three players in Sunday’s game. The first attacker is Anthony Lozano (#9), he plays for Cadiz in LaLiga, in that tournament he has stood out as a great attacker and can score in Sunday’s game. He is also a fundamental part of the team as he has more experience than others. Another player is Romel Quioto (#12), the 31 year old is a key thinker playing in MLS and managed to score in the last game against Orlando City SC. Minnesota United FC player, Kervin Arriaga (#5) is one of the best soccer teams in his young age and will play a key role in distributing the ball all over the field.
In the same way, Honduras comes from playing the Nations League and comes to terms with the rhythm of the confrontation. This year they will be looking to finish first in Group B of the Gold Cup and for that they will have to emerge victorious in Sunday’s game. They have many young players who will give a facelift to the team. Their last game was against Canada on March 28, 2023, the match ended in a 4–1 defeat at BMO Field, giving them their first loss of the year. They come in as the least favorite to win this game, however they could spring a surprise and win.
The next three players are considered vital to Mexico’s offensive line and it is likely that one of them could score in the game against Honduras. Forward Santiago Jimenez (#13) plays in the Eredivisie with Feyenoord Rotterdam. He is the top scorer for his team with 15 goals in 32 matches played and his leadership will be very important for the Gold Cup. Midfielder Edson Alvarez (#4) is a great player with great pace and good ball control. He is 25 years old and we may see him assist or score in the game on Sunday. Finally, the player from Serie A’s Salernitana, Guillermo Ochoa (#1) is a great goalkeeper with 73 saves in 20 games played. He has a lot of experience in Italy and it is very important that he leads the team in the match against Honduras.
The Mexican football team comes from their last tournament which ended a week ago, they want to win the Gold Cup and take home the championship. They have made a lot of changes and a lot is expected of them so they have to deliver. They are in Group B along with Qatar, Honduras and Haiti. The win came in their last game on June 18, 2023, a match against Panama at Allegiant Stadium which ended 1–0 and thus won their fourth game of the year. They come into this game as favorites to win and be in with a win because of the incredible squad they have and the good moment they are going through. Playing in the United States will give them an advantage in Sunday’s game and their fans can support them.
