Fans can watch the Mexico vs. Canada football match and see if the El Tri can give their home fans another dominating performance.

The teams met last week in a sold-out Vancouver, with the Mexican squad dominating en route to a 3-0 victory. Now the Mexican team will head home for a tilt on Tuesday night, with start time at 10:30 p.m. ET. The match will be available to watch live online, with a link to streaming video available below.

Mexico now has its Hexagonal qualification all but locked up, but there is still a lot at stake as the team looks to put on a strong performance for its home fans.

As ESPNFC noted, the Mexican team is looking to regain its advantage in Estadio Azteca.

“Normally the ghosts in the Azteca work in Mexico’s favor. Fifty years old, the massive concrete stadium is the only field to have hosted two World Cup finals. Pele and Diego Maradona won there and the field has long been the national stadium for El Tri, boasting an enviable win percentage boosted partly by a hundred thousand fervently cheering fans.

“Yet during Mexico’s 2013 World Cup qualifying nightmare, where the squad nearly missed out on the 2014 World Cup, it was at Azteca where the team surprisingly faltered. Draws to Jamaica, the U.S. and then Costa Rica meant that the team was only taking one point from matches in which fans counted on gaining three. Hernandez was struggling through a goal-scoring drought and aside from Oribe Peralta, no one else could be counted on to score consistently.”

Fans who watch the Mexico vs. Canada football match live online will see if El Tri can turn in another dominant performance to match Friday’s resounding win. The match showcased the promising Hirving Lozano, with the 20-year-old serving as Mexico’s best scoring threat in the second half.

ESPNFC called the match in Vancouver his “coming-out event,” and noted that he could be soon making the jump to European clubs.

“Lozano’s pace is frightening and now that he is improving his goals-per-game ratio, European clubs will be watching very closely,” the report noted. “Potentially, Lozano could leave Mexico for a fee that surpasses Herrera’s transfer fee to Porto (€8 million). Certainly, Pachuca would be within their rights to demand a substantial amount for one of Mexico’s brightest youngsters.”

Full highlights of Friday’s 3-0 win for El Tri can be seen below.

The Canadian national team has a tall task in trying to win at Estadio Azteca, something that head coach Benito Floro knows well.

“Impossible is nothing,” Floro told the Toronto Sun. “Maybe (Mexico) will consider it impossible for us to win and they’ll relax.”

Floro added that the Canadian team gave Mexico plenty of ammunition on Friday’s match, with their mistakes leading directly to El Tri’s goals.

“Our mistakes played in favor of Mexico,” Floro said, referring to Friday’s match. “The majority of the time we were in-between. We were not initiating our press early or we weren’t seeing that we couldn’t press and dropping off.”

But Floro added that his team has been growing, though it may not be enough to save his job this year.

“The progress of the team — if we’re speaking about being a serious team, a difficult team for opponents — it’s really good,” he sad. “But I always want more.”
