Mexico's women's national team defeated New Zealand 2-0 in the second friendly match preparing for the 2027 World Cup. The game took place at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez in Ciudad Juárez. This win follows the 1-0 victory in the first match.
Mexico's women's national team, coached by Pedro López, continues preparing for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil with high-level friendlies. The second match against New Zealand was played on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. central Mexico time, at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez, home of the Bravos team in Ciudad Juárez.
Mexico won 2-0 in this game, building on their initial 1-0 victory in the first friendly. In that previous match, Aaliyah Farmer's goal in the first half secured the win, stemming from a mistake by the New Zealand goalkeeper on a corner kick. Though the Tricolor displayed superiority, they lacked finishing, with players like Charlyn Corral and Jacqueline Ovalle unable to extend the lead. A highlight was the debut of Ivonne Gutiérrez from Cruz Azul, who entered in the second half and created unbalanced plays down the right flank.
The match was broadcast live on the YouTube and Facebook channels of the Mexican National Team, available in Mexico and worldwide. These games help refine aspects like attacking efficiency, essential for the tournament in Brazil.
