They had to spend 14 days of the Concacaf Octagonal Final for Mexico to define whether it will be a direct guest to Qatar 2022 or, instead, will play the international repechage match. On the last day of actions, Gerardo Martino's team will face El Salvador on the pitch of the Azteca Stadium to define their final position. Although Central Americans no longer aspire to qualify, they will seek to complicate the passage of the Tricolor.
After having tied against the United States National Team on the grass of the Colossus of Santa Ursula, Mexico made the trip to Honduras to rescue three units that secured them in third place. As a result, and after a combination of scoreboards, the Tata Martino team will only have to rescue one point against Octagonal's sixth place overall, but the catrachos are confident in achieving the feat of the Aztecazo.
As with the match against the United States at the Azteca, up to 50,000 people will be able to enter the stands of the venue. Although the home and the huge presence of Mexican fans will be a favorable factor for the locals in the closing of the tournament, if a convincing match is not consolidated, the seats could turn against the Mexican National Team and give notice of their disagreement as has happened in the most recent matches.
Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2022.
Place: Estadio Azteca, Coyoacán, Mexico City.
Time: 19:05
Television: The closing of the final octagonal will be broadcast through the open signal on channel 7, by Azteca Deportes microphones, as well as on channel 5 through TUDN. There is also the possibility of following the meeting through the Chapultepec television station's channel on the pay signal.
Application and Internet: Both television stations will offer their signal through official digital platforms. However, Azteca Deportes will be enabled free of charge.
Radio: listeners will be able to follow the actions of the meeting live and live through the 730 amplitude modulated (am) and 96.9 frequency modulated (fm), on W Deportes microphones.
Despite the controversial panorama that Gerardo Martino has gone through, he is one point away from fulfilling the goal of qualifying for the world cup fair. However, the poor football display exhibited in the most recent matches has been reason enough for a sector of the fans to demand his resignation every time the referee signals the end of the match with his ocarina.
Despite the claims, the Argentine strategist has been calm and without the intention of submitting his resignation. Although he said he was aware that he has not secured the ticket to the World Cup Joust, he hopes to get it and get the performance of his teams to improve once they have a place in the highest football tournament in the world.
“It's not a minor element. When a team has a low performance and important things are played, you run the risk of falling in love with the results and putting performance aside. We always talk to players that good performance will bring better results (...) The final qualification will allow us to play better, to recover the performance that the team knew how to have and their way of playing”, he said at a press conference.
Despite the irregular results, Mexico is the highest ranked Concacaf team in the FIFA world ranking. In case of ensuring his stay, he will do so in pot 2, where he will avoid the clash against other teams such as Denmark, Holland, Germany, United States, Switzerland, Croatia and Uruguay.
