Mexico vs. Honduras • Highlights • Semifinal • Gold Cup

Mateo Chávez crossed the ball and Marcel Ruiz met it and finished it off. However, the Honduran goalkeeper's reaction prevented the Tricolor from scoring their first goal.

Mexico continues to search for ways into the box against a defense that thwarts all of its attempts and seizes opportunities to create plays. The Tricolor team is thus gaining minutes without being able to push beyond the midfield against Honduras's effective defense.

A brawl in front of the Mexican bench ended with players from both sides clashing, halting the game for a few moments.

The Honduran national team took advantage of a counterattack to look for opportunities in front of Luis Ángel Malagón's goal. Anthony Lozano made the first attack, but it ended up going out of bounds.

Mexico started with a presence in the box and Roberto Alvarado took the first shot from the box and created danger, however, the ball ended up going out of play to the side of the left post.

The referee blows the whistle and the match begins on the pitch at Levi's Stadium.

Tonight, the Mexican national team will play for a place in the 2025 Gold Cup final against Honduras . After 14 years, the two teams will meet again in this stage. In 2023 and 2024, they faced each other in the Concacaf Nations League, with the Tricolor winning both times, although not without difficulties.

Now, Honduras is looking for revenge and to end a losing streak in the Gold Cup against Mexico. The match will be played at Levi's Stadium, a stadium that has been the scene of several poor results for Javier Aguirre's team . The most recent, in 2023, was a 0-1 defeat to Qatar in the group stage of the last Gold Cup. However, one of the hardest blows Mexico has suffered at this same venue was in the 2016 Copa América, when they were humiliated by Chile with a resounding 7-0.

The winner of this match will face the winner of the match between Guatemala and the United States . Although a final between Mexico and the United States seems to be on the cards, both the Guatemalans and the Catrachos are determined to pull off an upset.

The Mexican national team, under the direction of Javier Aguirre, has already been crowned champion of the Nations League and is now looking to lift the 2025 Gold Cup , its last major tournament before the 2026 World Cup.
