The Under 23 Mexican National Team, directed by Jaime Lozano, faced its peer Costa Rica in the match of Day 2 of the Concacaf Pre-Olympic on the Akron Stadium field, aiming to seal his pass for the semi-finals of the tournament.
The Costa Rican national team went out of their way to avoid defeat to the Mexican national team, as it would certainly represent their elimination in the tournament as they lost in their debut against the United States.

Mexico, for its part, has just defeated the Dominican Republic 4-1 in its on-field debut at Jalisco Stadium, so another win would guarantee qualification to the semi-final for ‘Jimmy’ Lozano’s in Group A.
Mexico, however, claimed its favorite status and took the lead in the 6th minute with a goal from Uriel Antuna who took advantage of a great pass from Sebastián Córdova to put Jaime Lozano’s team ahead on the scoreboard.
