Who's playing? Panama and Mexico face off in what will be their final warmup game before the WC Qualifiers. Both teams seem to be looking for alternatives to play those games, and Tuesday's matchup will give both Colombian coaches, Hernán Darío Gómez (Panama) and Juan Carlos Osorio (Mexico) an opportunity to fill the gaps in their squads ahead of their clash in November.
This game was scheduled to be played before the World Cup Qualifiers' calendar was announced. Considering that these teams will meet in one month, both managers chose to leave key players out of the squad, including Mexico's "Chicharito" Hernández and Panama's Román Torres.
What time? Tuesday, October 11, at 18:30 PDT/ 20:30 CDT/ 21:30 EDT
What stadium? Toyota Park, located in the city of Chicago, Illinois. This venue is expected to have a sellout crowd of 30,000 fans, considering the large Mexican fanbase living in Chicago.

Team news
Mexican coach Juan Carlos Osorio decided to give new players a chance to wear El Tri's jersey, with mixed results coming out of his experiments. Others, such as Giovani Dos Santos, returned to the squad after a lengthy absence, and answered to the Colombian's trust with a PK goal.
For this match, Mexico won't have Eintracht Frankfurt's midielder Marco Fabián, since he returned to his team after Saturday's clash. Giovani's sibling, Jonathan, was dropped from the squad due to injury, which is also the case of former Olympiakos' striker Alan Pulido.

Los Canaleros also used this game to call up new blood, considering that neither manager wanted to show all their stuff in a friendly match with the WC Qualifier just around the corner. Regardless of the absences of key players such as Jaime Penedo, Roman Torres and Blas Pérez, Panama's coach Hernán Darío Gomez admitted that there's a sense of rematch between his men after that controversial Gold Cup elimination more than one year ago.
"This game against Mexico is as relevant as the one we'll play next month. There's no such thing as a friendly match when we face Mexico."
