The Mexico national team battled admirably all night but still could only manage a 0–0 draw against Uruguay, extending its winless streak to five games.
It was an intense, gritty, physical affair at the Estadio Corona, where action in either penalty area was almost nonexistent. Even though Mexico were slightly better throughout the 90 minutes, scoring opportunities for Javier Aguirre’s side were hard to come by.
Considering the caliber of opponent, it’s not the worst of results for Mexico. Yet, El Tri hasn’t won a single game since the 2025 Gold Cup final and have looked out of sorts in attack since the summer. Nevertheless, the strong personality and defensive acumen of Aguirre’s side continues to shine.
It’s a valuable test for El Tri in its 2026 World Cup preparations, but anything less than a win against Paraguay next Tuesday in its last game of 2025 will be a massive disappointment.
Here’s three takeaways from Mexico’s scoreless draw vs. Uruguay.
