The match will take place at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas and broadcast live across America by Univision; both sides will aim for victory as part of their preparations.
Brazil Wins
Mexico are looking to bounce back after suffering an upset defeat against Uruguay last week in their opening US Copa America match, and beating Brazil would provide them with an instant boost. But in order to take down world champions they will need a complete game against them.
Brazil was initially in control and exploring attacking avenues early on, but Ederson made an error which allowed Mexico to recover the ball and seize control. Mexico will use their pressure tactics as they look out for any loose pass and exploit every opening they find.
Ovalle made her run down the left flank before shooting just outside the box – unfortunately it whizzed wide of its target.
The game is getting increasingly physical as both teams begin exchanging fouls and yellow cards. Although Brazil’s defense has significantly lessened in numbers, they still represent a tough challenge for Mexico.
Team Lineups
Brazilian powerhouses Brazil and Costa Rica will square off in an intense match on Matchday 3 of the Copa America for an all-important semifinal berth, while Costa Rica can still qualify if they outwit Paraguay decisively.
Danilo, Eder Militao and Marquinhos will lead Brazil’s defense, likely seeing no major changes from their dominant performance against USA. Wendell may vie with fellow Porto defender Guilherme Arana for Dorival Junior’s starting XI left-back spot.
Mexico are expected to field a similar team that impressed in their 3-2 win against Uruguay, under Jaime Lozano. Carlos Rodriguez should lead their attack while Everton’s Johan Martinez could serve as holding midfield. Luis Romo from Monterrey may also be considered for inclusion; should Juan Manuel Alvarez be sidelined he may need to switch into holding midfield role.
Highlights
Once both national anthems have been played, Mexico and Brazil’s match is ready to commence. Both teams will bring out their top players for an intense duel filled with thrilling moments.

Jaime Lozano’s squad will face an uphill struggle against Dorival Junior’s squad in their inaugural Copa America warm-up international friendly, following their defeat against Uruguay last time out.
Brazilians are an undisputed favorite to win this summer’s tournament and their formidable lineup should pose problems for Mexican opponents. Led by Real Madrid superstars Eder Militao, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo as well as 17-year old Endrick Endrick they should pose serious competition to Mexico defenders and cause them problems in terms of attack power.
Final Words
Mexico will look for their first victory of Copa America 2024 after falling to Venezuela 1-0 in their opener. El Tri coach Jaime Lozano will likely have to do without Edson Alvarez due to an injured hamstring; likely ruling him out for at least the group stage of competition.
