GUA vs MEX: Guatemala will share the field with Mexico at the Cotton bowl for a group stage match against Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Guatemala played their season opener against El Salvador at Toyota Stadium. El Salvador dominated the match single-handedly. The first half was an eventful one with several attempts at glory going in vain.
However, El Salvador were rewarded fruitfully as substitute Alex Roldan made it 1-0 at the 81st minute. They struck again in the added time at 90+6th minute, courtesy of Joaquín Rivas. Salvador, with 69% possession and 21 attempts in comparison to Guatemala’s 4, won the match convincingly by 2-0.
Mexico were involved in a disappointing stalemate against Trinidad & Tobago. Despite having 83% possession and 30 attempts at goal, they couldn’t score. With such sheer dominance shown by Mexico, T&T managed to scrape through with a draw.
