During the Matchday 2 of the preliminary round, many players seen previously at the Maurice Revello Tournament have shone. Recap !

After a 7-0 win over Nicaragua, Mexico clinched once again a large win, this time against Saint-Martin. Carlos Vargas and the Maurice Revello Tournament 2018 best player Diego Lainez have been benched for this game contrary to José Macias.
