Fiji vs Mexico - Stats & facts
-
This will be the first ever match between Fiji and Mexico in any category.
-
The Mexican National Team is making its 11th appearance in the Olympic Football tournament, while the Fijian side is making its debut.
-
Fiji set a Men's Olympic Football record during the Qualifiers by beating Micronesia 38-0. Nevertheless, FIFA will not let it go up as an International record since Micronesia is not affiliated to FIFA.
-
Mexican striker Oribe Peralta is the team's top scorer in Olympic Football matches, with five goals up to date.
Team news
Fiji's debut was not what they were expecting, as they were destroyed by a much more talented South Korean side on Thursday. Having allowed eight goals, Frank Farina's team appears to be the massive underdog for this game, with their main focus being to keep the Mexicans from scoring as many goals.
On the other side, El Tri couldn't hold on to their lead twice against the Germans, but their KO stage chances are still intact. A win against Fiji would certainly come in handy, but if they can manage to score at least the same amount of goals as South Korea did, then they will end up deciding their future in the group's last match against the Taeguk Warriors.

Nevertheless, they'll have to fight hard for that ticket after what these teams showed in the tournament's debut.

Match facts - Honduras vs Portugal
-
This will be the first game between these National Teams in all categories.
-
Honduras has made an appearance in three Olympic Football tournaments. Meanwhile, this is Portugal's third appearance in this sort of competition.
-
None of these teams has ever reached the podium.
-
Both teams made it to this tournament as runners up. Honduras lost CONCACAF's final match against Mexico, while Portugal did the same against Sweden in a breath-taking penalty shootout.
Team news
Jorge Luis Pinto's team made the most out of their meeting against Algeria, a match they ended up winning 3-2 mostly because of the Algerian goalkeeper's baffling performance. The Central American side made it to the Quarter finals four years ago, and Pinto's men would book a ticket to that same stage if they can beat the heavily favoured Portuguese team.
On the other hand, Rui Jorge's team made it past Argentina with a stylish 2-0 display. Led by Udinese's Bruno Fernandes, the talented Portuguese players will try to repeat what A Seleçao did a month ago, when they shocked the world and won the 2016 UEFA Euro against France.
