Canada and Mexico will battle against each other to determine the top spot of CONCACAF's Group A in the 2018 World Cup Qualifiers. El Tri currently sits atop the table with a perfect run of two wins, while the Canadian side's lonely goal has granted them four points, winning against Honduras and after their goal-less draw against El Salvador.
Out of the 29 matches in all competitions, Mexico has defeated Canada 17 times. El Tri's fans remember fondly one of the biggest blowouts for their team against the Canadians, which happened back in 1993 during CONCACAF's Gold Cup. Mexico defeated Canada with a massive 8-0 score, making way for their presence in the tournament's Quarter finals.
But Canada also has something that holds back El Tri's confidence when facing them, as Les Rouges eliminated Mexico from the 2000 Gold Cup with a golden goal. The Canadian side came from behind to eliminate a Mexican team that had won the three previous Gold Cups, and would go on to win the tournament eventually.
