The Mexican national team qualified for the semifinals of the CONCACAF pre-Olympic tournament, beating 3-0 in Costa Rica in the second game of group A, a match in which the youth team Club America, Sebastián Córdova, was again present on the scoreboard, reaching four annotations in these first two games, equaling the mark of two historic Tricolors: Hugo Sánchez and Cuauhtémoc Blanco.
Córdova is the main scorer of the team looking for a ticket to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, reaching the mark of these two historic Mexico, which scored the 4 goals in the trials in Montreal 1976 and Atlanta 1996.

Córdova is a score away from tying the absolute record of a Mexican scorer in the pre-Olympics, because with 5 scores, Alan Pulido and Erick ‘El Cubo’ Torres hold this mark.
Mexico still has at least 2 more games to complete in this pre-Olympic in Guadalajara, so the chances for Córdova to score another goal are extremely high.

TRI will face the United States in the last match of Group A, and then they will face the first or second place of Group B in the semifinals, a match that would define the winner of one of the tickets to the Olympic Games.
If the ticket is won, Mexico would play the match to define the CONCACAF zone champion.
