Mexico’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup hit a considerable bump in the road when they were thumped 4–0 by Colombia in Texas.
Javier Aguirre’s reign has so far been successful, with the journeyman coach overseeing their Gold Cup success in the summer. However, Saturday’s defeat laid bare Mexico’s vulnerabilities, as well as their reliance on a couple of key players.
Nevertheless, there’s a chance for them to respond back on home soil here, as Ecuador, off the back of a 1–1 draw with the USMNT, take on Aguirre’s bruised outfit.
The South Americans qualified for next summer’s World Cup having lost just two of their 18 games, but they, too, are without multiple recognisable faces for the upcoming friendly.
Here’s how you can watch Mexico vs. Ecuador on Tuesday night.
