Watch Mexico Vs. Costa Rica CONCACAF Gold Cup Quarterfinal Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Live

Seven-time CONCACAF Gold Cup winners Mexico were expected to meet their longtime rivals Costa Rica in the 2019 tournament’s semifinals. But when Los Ticos were stunned by Haiti in their final group stage match, as MLS Soccer reported, suddenly the schedule was accelerated and now the two countries will square off in a quarterfinal match.

The two teams have met in the quarters on seven previous occasions, and Costa Rica has never beat Mexico in that round. But after seeing Haiti upend heavily favored Canada in Saturday’s first quarterfinal, Costa Rica will feel their hopes rise for the match that will live stream from Houston, Texas.

To find out how to watch a live stream of the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal showdown on Saturday, pitting Mexico against Costa Rica, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. CT at the 71,995-seat NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on Saturday, June 29. That start time will be 10 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. PT.

The start time will be the same in Mexico, which shares the North American time zones with the United States. Costa Rica is also on Central Time, but without daylight saving time, meaning that the match will start at 8 p.m.

In the United Kingdom, that kickoff time is set for 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 30, British Summer Time. Fans in the Caribbean can catch the live stream starting at 10 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time.

Costa Rica may have two factors in their favor. First, Coach Gustavo Matosas is well known to many of the Mexican players, and they are well known to him, from his time at the helms of both Club America and Leon in Mexico. He won two straight Liga MX titles with the latter club, as Goal recounted. Matosas has already made a point of stating at a press conference that his team feels no fear of the mighty El Tri, who have long been the dominant team in the CONCACAF region.

The other element that Costa Rica will need to fall into place is the performance of goalkeeper Leonel Moreira. The C.F. Pachuca net minder will likely deal with a barrage of chances from Mexico, as ESPN noted, and could turn the contest around if he is at the top of his game.
