Very little from either team in the second half and the score shows no signs of changing.
January 16, 2025 8:38 PM ET
Few chances in the second half, neither team is dominating, the scoreboard seems difficult to change.

Both teams want more but are not creating the chances that were expected as we approach half-time.
January 16, 2025 7:31 PM ET
Everything is very close but neither team can impose their game and we are still at zero.
January 16, 2025 7:27 PM ET
The locals also want a goal before half-time and take the lead.
January 16, 2025 7:23 PM ET
Internacional controls the ball and wants the first of the match, Mexico is more passive waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.

We remain without any goal opportunities but both teams are pressing to get into the opponent’s area.

January 16, 2025 10:50 AM ET
The Mexican striker is one of the most important figures in this call-up for the Mexican national team, the player seeks to continue his development and continue to show that he is one of the best in his position. “El Memote” continues his development and hopes to be an important piece among Mexico’s offensive options. During his call-ups with Mexico, he has scored 4 goals and 1 assist in 8 games. The 29-year-old player will seek to be Mexico’s undisputed starter and help them achieve their goals.
January 16, 2025 10:45 AM ET
The Mexican National Team continues its preparation for the 2026 World Cup, where it will be one of the host countries, which is why El Tri is playing preparation games against different rivals. On this occasion, Javier Aguirre’s team will face Internacional and River Plate, two South American clubs with a lot of history, seeking to take advantage of this opportunity to see players who are usually not called up and to have greater knowledge of the players who can form the roster for the World Cup. On this occasion, the Mexican team only has players from its local league as it is not a FIFA date, but it has an interesting base of players, among which we find Guillermo Martínez, Fernando Tapia, Víctor Guzmán, Efraín Álvarez, Jesus Gallardo, Elias Montiel and Ramón Juárez to fight to show their best level and try to get a place in future calls. The last time the Mexican National Team faced a club was in October of last year when they tied against Valencia at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium. Mexico is one of the big favorites to win since the clubs they will face are in preseason and might not show all their stars, however, the search for good results will be essential to achieve better performance day by day.
January 16, 2025 10:40 AM ET
This is the team’s final line-up: Sergio Rochet, Vitão, Clayton, Rômulo, Alexander Bernabei, Bruno Gomes, Bruno Henrique, Gustavo Prado, Bruno Tabata, Enner Valencia and Rafael Borré.
January 16, 2025 10:35 AM ET
The Internacional midfielder is one of the most important figures of the team. He is looking to continue his development in the team and now he will have many more minutes to show his quality and help the team fight at the top of the Campeonato Gaúcho. During the previous season he played 45 games, where he scored 12 goals and provided 9 assists. Now, his main objective is to establish himself as an important part of the team’s forward line and continue showing the great level of last season.
January 16, 2025 10:30 AM ET
Internacional continues its preparation for the 2025 season of the Brazilian Campeonato Gaúcho. Last season, the team finished in fifth place with 65 points, after 18 wins, 11 draws and 9 losses. The team has an interesting base of players, among which we find Gabriel Carvalho, Vitao, Rafael Borré, Wesley, Vitinho, Wanderson, Bruno Gomes and Thiago Maia to fight to have a good year and try to win the title in the Brazilian Serie A. Likewise, the team achieved its goal of getting into the Copa Libertadores and will also seek to show its best level and fight for the title of the continent. The goal of returning to the top of the first category of Brazilian football will be what guides the team and they will want to take advantage of the duel against Mexico to continue their preparation for their debut in a few days. Internacional is one of the big favourites to fight for the title and the search for good results will be essential to achieve this goal match by match. What is expected is that several of its starters have a great season and begin to show important improvements day by day to win several championships.
