The last places are still to be disputed and two direct tickets will come today from the CONCACAF region, where everything points to the USMNT and Mexico taking two places to complete the 29 teams that will be in the draw on Friday for the World Cup and only three teams will be left to define all the groups for the World Cup in Qatar.

El Salvador national team, already eliminated and fighting for nothing more than the pride of wearing the colors of 'La Selecta', will want to ruin a night for Gerardo Martino and his team so that Mexico can prove that it has what it takes to reach the World Cup. 

The team coached by Hugo Perez will be looking for the "Aztecazo" and end their participation in CONCACAF qualifying with a win. El Salvador's most dangerous attacking players are presented here, who can ruin Mexico's direct qualification.
