Mexico will play their 17th World Cup as El Tri qualified to Qatar 2022 with a 2-0 win over El Salvador at the Azteca Stadium. With this result, Tata Martino’s team finished second in the standings of the qualifying tournament, ahead of the USMNT, which couldn’t defeat Costa Rica.
After a draw with the USMNT and a 1-0 triumph over Honduras, Mexico had at least the playoffs secured but they only needed a draw to seal their direct ticket to Qatar. El Tri didn’t give anything to luck and scored the first goal of the night in the 17th minute of the match.
Uriel Antuna opened the scoring and then, if things weren’t good enough for the home side already, the referee awarded a penalty for El Tri. Raul Jimenez didn’t hesitate and found the net and secure a place in the upcoming World Cup. Here, check out the highlights and goals from this match:

Mexico will be looking for a draw or a win against a national team that no longer has a chance to qualify for Qatar 2022. However, they should not be complacent, as a loss against El Salvador and a negative result for the USMNT against Costa Rica could send Mexico to the World Cup playoffs.
