Why This Friendly Matters
Tuesday is Memo Ochoa’s night. The Mexican federation will honor its legendary goalkeeper with the official “Thank You, Memo!” tribute before kickoff at the Coliseum, with fan tribute videos and the lighting of the stadium’s Olympic cauldron. Ochoa, the only goalkeeper to play in six World Cups, retired from professional soccer after the 2026 World Cup. He is not in the squad and will not play; this is a farewell ceremony, not a comeback.
For Márquez, the stakes are simpler: he still needs his first win. El Tri drew 1-1 with Colombia and 1-1 with Peru before the 3-0 defeat to the United States on October 3, a night of costly individual errors in Glendale. A victory over Chile would send the squad into November’s official matches with something concrete to show for the new era.
Chile arrives in arguably worse shape. La Roja lost both of its earlier games in this North American tour and is deep into a squad rebuild under Nicolás Córdova, with a young roster and a disrupted camp. For Mexico, anything less than a first win under Márquez would extend an uncomfortable narrative.
Recent Form
Senior national team friendlies in this international window, most recent first.
Mexico is winless in three under Márquez. The 3-0 loss to the USA on October 3 in Glendale followed a 1-1 draw with Peru on September 29 in Harrison, New Jersey, and a 1-1 draw with Colombia on September 26 in Baltimore. El Tri have scored twice in three games in this window.
Chile has lost both of its games on this tour. La Roja fell 4-2 to the United States on September 29 in St. Louis after a 1-0 defeat to Canada on September 26 in Toronto. Chile conceded five goals across the two matches while scoring twice.
Team News
Mexico’s squad is stretched. Raúl Jiménez and Julián Quiñones were never called up because of injuries, per the Associated Press. César Montes and Alan Cervantes left the camp with muscle problems. Hirving Lozano is officially out for the rest of the FIFA window after the FMF confirmed on October 4 that he suffered a myotendinous injury of the left biceps femoris, and he has left the camp to rehab with his club. Luis Romo is also officially out of the Chile match after the FMF confirmed on October 5 that a medical exam found a left-leg biceps femoris injury; he has left the camp and returned to Chivas. Santiago Giménez missed the first two games of the window with a right-adductor overload but returned against the USA on October 3; Jeremy Márquez overcame an early back contracture and has been available throughout the window.
Chile has its own absences. Midfielder Marcelino Núñez was released from the squad for personal reasons and will not face Mexico, the Chilean federation confirmed on October 1. Defender Benjamín Kuscevic was previously released with an injury and replaced in the squad by Igor Lichnovsky. With Rodrigo Echeverría of Club Leon the only Liga MX-based player in the squad, Córdova is using the window to evaluate options for a squad rebuild.
Head-To-Head
The teams last met in December 2021, a 2-2 friendly draw. The most famous meeting remains the Copa América Centenario quarterfinal in June 2016, when Chile routed Mexico 7-0 in Santa Clara.
What to Watch
The central question is whether Márquez finally gets his first win, and what it costs him. Mexico’s thin squad means more minutes for young players, and the Coliseum crowd, there as much for Ochoa’s farewell as for the match, will expect a response after the USA defeat. For Chile, the night is about damage control: a third straight loss with a disrupted squad would deepen the sense of a rebuild going nowhere.
Prediction
Prediction: Mexico 2-1 Chile. El Tri’s home-away-from-home support and Chile’s disarray should be enough for Márquez’s first win, but Mexico’s own injury list keeps this from looking comfortable.
