Mexico’s Unbeaten Streak at Estadio Nemesio Diez Continues Ahead of Match Against Honduras

The Estadio Nemesio Diez in Toluca has long been a fortress for the Mexican national football team, boasting an unbeaten record that stretches 54 years. As reported by Ricardo Salazar from TUDN, the stadium has hosted «El Tri» on 18 occasions between 1957 and 2019, with the upcoming match on November 19 marking the 19th.

The historical record at the venue heavily favors the Mexican squad, with 13 victories, three draws, and only two defeats. Notably, one of the more memorable triumphs at the Nemesio Diez was a dominant 5-0 victory over Honduras in the 1980s during a friendly match. This game saw Mexican players Agustín Manzo and Hugo Sánchez deliver a hat-trick and a brace, respectively, on April 5, 1980.

Since the last defeat, the «Tricolor» team has managed to maintain an impressive unbeaten streak in Toluca, facing off against both club teams, such as Toluca, Rapid de Bucarest, and Borussia Dortmund, as well as national teams including Romania, Canada, and Italy.

In related news, former Mexican national team player, «Kikin» Fonseca, made light-hearted comments regarding the evolution of the Honduran team. He remarked that unlike the aggressive nature seen in past encounters, the current Honduran squad displays a more refined style of play.

Photos from the build-up to the eagerly anticipated clash between Mexico and Honduras are available, capturing the excitement and anticipation surrounding the match at the iconic Nemesio Diez stadium.
