The Mexico national team is closing in on a third consecutive appearance in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final. But first, El Tri will have to overcome upstart Jamaica, as the Reggae Boyz are seeking a first final since 2017. Kickoff is slated for 10:36 pm ET from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV.
Mexico defeated Costa Rica 2-0 in the quarterfinal at Arlington's AT&T Stadium. Meanwhile, Jamaica saw off a stern challenge from Guatemala in their quarterfinal in Cincinnati, holding on for a hard-fought 1-0 victory.
Jamaica vs. Mexico, semifinal of 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada:
Mexico's all-time record against Jamaica reflects El Tri's dominance in this particular matchup. Mexico have won 21 of the 31 all-time meetings with the Reggae Boyz, losing only five times. However, the previous two meetings in this year's CONCACAF Nations League ended in draws, so this semifinal matchup is expected to be another tense affair -- especially as both teams are seeking to end Gold Cup droughts.
Mexico last won the trophy in 2019 and are hoping to take part in a third consecutive final - which will be held on Sunday, July 16 at SoFi Stadium, just outside of Los Angeles. Jaime Lozano's men hit a bump in the road after losing to invited guests Qatar at the end of the group stage, but they rebounded in the quarterfinal and ultimately eased to another win over Costa Rica after second half strikes from former Chivas stalwart Orbelín Pineda and Pachuca's long-serving Erick Sanchez.
Jamaica have never won the Gold Cup, but made the final in 2017
Jamaica have never won the Gold Cup and last made the finalsix years ago, when the Reggae Boyz lost to the United States national team. Jamaica have conceded only twice in four games at the 2023 Gold Cup. Luton Town full-back Amari'i Bell scored the only goal of the game against Guatemala in Sunday's quarterfinal matchup, which was the final match for Guatemala boss Luis Fernando Tena.
Kickoff remains slated for 8 pm PT/10 pm ET from Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. FOX Sports 1 is handling the national broadcast, while streaming viewers can access the game on fuboTV and Sling TV. Spanish-speaking fans can watch this semifinal on TUDN and Univision.
