Mexico hosted Iceland in what was expected to be a tough test ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, El Tricolor had no trouble, cruising to a dominant 4-0 victory over the European side.

By fielding only Liga MX players, head coach Javier Aguirre was able to evaluate which local talents deserve a spot on the final roster alongside the Europe-based stars. The Mexican players took full advantage of this opportunity, showcasing their quality.

With goals from Richard Ledezma, Armando Gonzalez, Jesus Gallardo, and Brian Gutierrez—three of them representing Chivas—Mexico defeated Iceland, a national team that offered little resistance to the hosts.
