For the second year in a row, Mexico turned around an 0-2 deficit against Honduras in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals. This time, a convincing 4–0 victory in the team's best performance since Javier Aguirre returned to manage El Tri secured its place in the semifinals.

Mexico dominated the game from the jump, pushing forward in numbers and generating chance after chance until Raúl Jiménez opened the scoring just before halftime to bring El Tri within one with 45 minutes to go. In the second half, Mexico dismantled Honduras.
