The Mexico vs Costa Rica clash will take place on Sunday, June 22, 2025, at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kickoff times across the U.S. are as follows:

• 7:00 p.m. PT
• 8:00 p.m. MT
• 9:00 p.m. CT
• 10:00 p.m. ET

Mexico Looks to Secure First Place

The Mexican national team, coached by Javier Aguirre, earned a 2–0 win over Suriname thanks to a brace from César Montes, and followed that up with a 3–2 victory over Dominican Republic. Midfielder Edson Álvarez has anchored the middle of the pitch with recovery and distribution, while forwards like Raúl Jiménez and Santiago Giménez have been clinical in the final third. Mexico is expected to dictate the pace and reinforce its dominance in Group A.

Costa Rica Riding Offensive Momentum

Costa Rica, led by Miguel Herrera, defeated Suriname 4–3 in a thrilling match, with two penalties converted by standout striker Manfred Ugalde, and edged past Dominican Republic 2–1 with goals from Ugalde and Josimar Alcócer. The return of veteran goalkeeper Keylor Navas has provided much-needed stability. The Ticos are showing resilience and look to finish strong against a tough Mexican side.

What’s at Stake?

While both teams are already through to the quarterfinals, winning Group A means avoiding a potentially tougher opponent—most likely the winner of Group D. Beyond that, both teams aim to stay undefeated and carry momentum into the knockout stage.

The match between Mexico and Costa Rica kicks off this Sunday at 10:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 p.m. CT / 8:00 p.m. MT / 7:00 p.m. PT. It’s set to be a high-level battle of tactics, talent, and ambition between two of the region’s strongest teams.
