Mexico Needs to Win Against El Salvador to Secure World Cup in Qatar

Although Mexico won against Honduras on Sunday, El Tri could not directly qualify to Qatar because El Salvador was beaten by Costa Rica with a score of 2-1, per BolaVip.

The Athletic noted that Mexico is now set to face El Salvador on Wednesday night at the Estadio Azteca.

BolaVip noted that Mexico needs at least a draw with El Salvador to guarantee that they will play in the World Cup to be held in Qatar.

According to Sporting News, the U.S.A., Mexico, and Costa Rica are guaranteed to finish in the league's top four. The outlet furthered that the top three get automatic berths to Qatar.

If Mexico loses against El Salvador on Wednesday, Mexico will be hailed as the fourth runner-up in the World Cup qualifiers 2022.

It is not a total loss for Mexico if ever, because the fourth runner-up will be given a spot to play in June's intercontinental playoffs. Details of the said match remain unclear, but The Sporting News noted that it may be held in New Zealand or the Solomon Islands.
