| Like co-hosts Canada and the USA, Mexico has advanced to the round of 32 of the World Cup. However, neither of the other two host nations has performed as convincingly as Javier Aguirre's team. With nine points and no goals conceded, they win Group A, putting themselves in a strong position to be favored to advance in the match between Mexico and Ecuador. In the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, which will again be held at the Azteca Stadium, Mexico will face Ecuador, who finished third in their group. The South Americans qualified for the knockout stage with a surprising victory over Germany but despite their strong defense, they are underdog against the hosts from North America. The winner of this match will face either England or Congo DR in the round of 16, the latter having surprisingly qualified for the knockout stage. The home factor could be significant for the final result in this match. |
