The Tricolor fell by a 4-0 defeat in their second preparation match towards the Copa América 2024.
In a friendly match played in Denver, the Mexican National Team suffered a resounding 4-0 defeat against Uruguay. The team led by Jaime Lozano was unable to decipher the tactics implemented by Marcelo Bielsa, coach of the Uruguayan team. This match represented an opportunity for Lozano to test some players with a view to defining the final roster for the next continental competition. However, the alternate team presented on the field could not compete against an experienced Celeste, who dominated from the beginning.
Darwin Núñez was the outstanding figure of the match by scoring a hat-trick, demonstrating his skill and effectiveness in front of the Mexican goal. To these three goals was added one more from Facundo Pellistri, consolidating a new defeat for the Tricolor team. The performance of the Mexican team left many doubts, especially in the defensive phase and in the ability to respond tactically to the rival’s proposals.
This result adds to a series of concerns for Lozano’s team, which now faces the challenge of facing Brazil in its next friendly match. The proximity of the continental tournament, one of the most important at the national team level, increases the pressure on the team and its coaching staff. The defeat against Uruguay highlights critical areas that the team urgently needs to improve to have a competitive performance in the upcoming competition.
