El Tri to take on the All Whites at Rose Bowl stadium.

North America’s one of the most successful teams Mexico will be keen to get back to winning ways. They welcome New Zealand for a showdown at the Rose Bowl stadium. El Tri will want to pick themselves up and get back on track following a disastrous 2024 Copa America campaign. There they crashed out in the group stages.

Standing in their way will be the All Whites who come into this game as underdogs. New Zealand are ranked 75 positions below their upcoming hosts but can present a tough fight to the home side. The visitors will be high on confidence coming into this game having won each of their last four fixtures. 

Kick Off

Sunday, September 8, 6:30 AM IST

Location: Rose Bowl

Form

Mexico (in all competitions): D-L-W-L-L

New Zealand (in all competitions): W-W-W-W-D

Players to watch

Luis Romo (Mexico)

Luis Romo will be the man to watch out for from Mexico. The 29-year-old midfielder adds a lot of versatility and quality to the midfield. He is known for his playmaking abilities and for setting up mouthwatering chances for his teammates up front.

Romo primarily plays as a defensive midfielder. He can also slot in as a central midfielder or a centre-back as and when required. 

Chris Wood (New Zealand)

The Nottingham Forest striker will have to shoulder the responsibility of finding the back of the net if New Zealand want to get the better of Mexico. Known for his anchor play and goal-scoring abilities, Wood is New Zealand’s record all-time goalscorer with 34 goals in 74 appearances. He is expected to lead his side from the front and cause trouble for an unconfident Mexican side.
