What They're Saying
Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera (via ESPN FC): "The team was much better, it didn't lower its guard or stop fighting. We've spoken about it since the squad got together and we showed our attitude. The result can go with or against you, but you can't give in; the team is clear on that."
Ecuador head coach Gustavo Quintero (via All Sports): "We have to turn back our mental state and we have to demonstrate each one can play at their maximum level to help the team, of course. So if we have to leave this tournament, we could do it with a victory and with a good game played as we want. So far we couldn't do it, but we have the last chance against Mexico."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Adrian Aldrete out due to an ankle injury, Mexico must turn to Efrain Velarde at left wing-back. In last year's Apertura with Pumas UNAM, the 29-year-old finished with two assists.
Mexico's Projected Lineup (5-3-2): Corona; Velarde, Valenzuela, Marquez, Dominguez, Flores; Medina, Guemez, Corona; Vuoso, Jimenez
Ecuador's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Dominguez; Ayovi, Erazo, Achilier, Paredes; Montero, Noboa, Ibarra, Cazares; Valencia, Bolaños
