The final stretch of the Concacaf Octagonal heading to Qatar 2022 started with the meeting between Mexico and the United States at the Azteca Stadium. In the midst of the expectation for the relevance of the result in the Classic of the area, the players jumped onto the pitch and played an even match that ended with the same score as the starting whistle. Although a sector of fans booed Gerardo Martino, the opinion of the experts was divided between praise and conformities.

Mexico lost the opportunity to consolidate itself as the second-best team in the area. Although they enjoyed dominance at times, unsuccessful arrivals prevented star forwards from breaking equality. Despite this, David Faitelson, one of the strongest critics of the Tricolor from the microphone, said he was satisfied with the final result and the process of the match.

“It was a good football game. Very even and with alternative options. Mexico vs the United States responds to the expectations of a Classic in the area”, he shared through his verified Twitter account, @Faitelson_ESPN.
