The International Friendly match between Mexico and Australia will take place at AT&T Stadium on Sunday at 7:30 am IST.
After securing yet another CONCACAF Gold Cup championship, Mexico is set to take on Australia in an international friendly at AT&T Stadium this upcoming weekend. Throughout the years, these two countries have crossed paths on five occasions, and in their last meeting in 2001, the Socceroos emerged victorious with a 2-0 win.
Mexico enters this match with the momentum of a memorable Gold Cup victory, where they secured the title in California in July. During their Gold Cup campaign, they registered five wins in six matches. They navigated the group stage with wins against Honduras and Haiti, then dominated the knockout phase, defeating Costa Rica and Jamaica without conceding a goal before claiming a 1-0 victory over Panama in the final. Mexico’s recent track record is impressive, as they’ve won two of the last three Gold Cups and have featured in 11 of the last 15 Gold Cup finals, winning nine times. Since the 2022 World Cup, they’ve lost only two out of 13 matches, with eight wins and three draws, including six victories in their last seven outings. With a successful run in the United States this year, where they scored 13 goals and kept four clean sheets in six Gold Cup matches, Mexico is eager to return to Dallas for this weekend’s match.
In contrast, Australia’s post-World Cup record consists of just three matches. They secured a win and suffered a loss against Ecuador in March, followed by a 2-0 defeat to Argentina in June. Despite starting their World Cup campaign with a 4-1 loss to France, the Socceroos showed promise by winning 1-0 against Tunisia and Denmark, earning a spot in the knockout stage. However, their journey ended in the Round of 16, where they fell to eventual champions Argentina, with goals from Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez, along with a late Enzo Fernandez own goal. Notably, Australia hasn’t recorded a single draw in their last nine matches, tallying five wins and losses, highlighting the need for consistency. Additionally, they’ve struggled to score more than one goal in eight of their last ten matches, suggesting potential difficulties in finding the net during their upcoming match in Texas.
Mexico probable starting lineup: Ochoa, Sanchez, Araujo, Vasquez, Gallardo, Romo, Alvarez, Herrera, Antuna, Jimenez, Gimenez
Australia probable starting lineup: Ryan, Atkinson, Souttar, Rowels, Behich, Leckie, Baccus, O’Neill, McGree, Duke, Boyle
