New USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino is set to experience the fierce rivalry between Mexico and the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) up close for the first time on Tuesday during a friendly match at Estadio Akron.
This match follows Pochettino’s successful debut four days earlier, where the USA secured a 2-0 victory over Panama in Austin with goals from Yunus Musah and Ricardo Pepi. However, the team will see significant changes for this game, as key players Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Zack Steffen, and Marlon Fossey are sidelined due to injuries.
Mexico, meanwhile, has not been active in competitive play since the Copa America in June. They enter this match following a 2-2 friendly draw against Valencia over the weekend.
The USA will face Mexico at Estadio Akron in Zapopan on Tuesday, October 15, with kickoff scheduled for 8:30 p.m. CST local time, which is 10:30 p.m. ET or 7:30 p.m. PT in the U.S. and Canada.
