International Friendly
Japan vs Mexico
15:00 ET
Japan will take on Mexico in an international friendly on Tuesday and it will be an interesting battle between two sides that have looked really formidable of late. Since football resumed post the Covid-19 break, neither Japan nor Mexico have lost a single game.
Japan beat Panama 1-0 last week thanks to Takumi Minamino scoring from the spot in the 61st minute of the game. They will face Mexico on the back of two successive wins with the first one coming against Ivory Coast in October where the Japanese registered a win thanks to a stoppage time goal from Naomichi Ueda.
On the other hand, Mexico came from behind to beat South Korea on Saturday. After Hwang Ui-jo opened the scoring for the South Koreans, Mexico whizzed past them in a three-minute flurry where Raul Jimenez, Uriel Antuna and Carlos Salcedo all scored between the 67th and the 70th minute.
