Coming off a victory over Internacional last week, Mexico visit River Plate at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to put an end to their adventure in South America. It'll be their final game before March's Concacaf Nations League semifinal vs. Canada.
El Tri pulled off an impressive performance at the Arena Beira-Rio and defeated Inter 2–0. With a number of debutants and a lineup constructed mainly of players that had never played together, Mexico looked poised, grew into the game and took advantage of their opportunities in front of goal. Many doubted and even criticized the roster and the overall expedition to South America, but the victory in Brazil silenced many of the critics.
