After losing the match against Canada Soccer Team in the CONCACAF qualifiers to get a ticket to the World Cup, Mexico National Team will face Chile in a friendly match to end the year.

Will this be Gerardo Martino's last chance to lift his team's spirit? If so, “El Tata” will need to boost the engines, since his next opponent is one he knows very well. 

And it´s still fresh in the memory the painful 7-0 defeat that Chile gave Mexico in the Copa América Centenario, in 2016. It´s even rumored that the Mexican Soccer Federation will be very aware of this match to evaluate the performance of Gerardo Martino.

According to his critics, the problem with "El Tata" is that he does not know how to contain fast teams like the United States and Canada.

Mexico Vs. Chile in Austin: how do both teams arrive at the game?

Mexico comes to its match with Chile very beaten after adding its third consecutive defeat against the United States, and losing the undefeated, now the Mexican team fell to the third position in the CONCACAF qualifying round, after its defeat against Canada.

Cyle Larin, at minutes 45 + 2 and 52, scored the goals for the Canadian squad that reached 16 points. Héctor Herrera, at 90, got the discount for the Mexican team that was left with 14 units and dropped to third position.

With this result, Canada took over the leadership of the competition and put more pressure on Mexico.

Chile is not doing well either: after losing against Ecuador in the CONMEBOL qualifiers and fell to the sixth position of the table, La Roja will seek for a win to end the year well. 

In that match against Ecuador, Pervis Estupiñán scored in the eighth minute, crowning a play that Ángel Mena made with a great advance down the right side and a long cross. 

Gary Medel tried to move his head away, but the ball came at the player of Villarreal, who had time to control at the area and defined with a cross cannon that beat goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Arturo Vidal aggravated the host´s predicament at 13 minutes, with a karate kick to the chest of Félix Torres, on a black night for La Roja at the San Carlos de Apoquindo Stadium. The injuries led to the departure of Mena at 25 minutes and Alexis Sánchez at 33.

Therefore, both teams seek to improve their place in the qualifying rounds towards Qatar 2022 and also, reconcile with their fans.

So this could be the last chance for both squads to lift their spirits before the World Cup Year starts. 

Which team you think will end well the year?
