Edson Alvarez (7/10):
Captained the team in the second half from the center back position. Without Johan Vazquez and Cesar Montes, Aguirre used the match to evaluate him in that role, and Alvarez kept things simple and controlled.

Jorge Sanchez (6/10):
Solid defensively, though his attacking contributions were rarely needed. Gave Mexico stability on the right side after coming on.

Guillermo Martinez (7/10):
Showed great movement and skill on his goal. Was active inside the box and consistently looked to connect with teammates in dangerous areas.

Carlos Acevedo (7/10):
Made two excellent saves early in the second half, preventing Ghana from leveling the match at 1-1. His interventions helped Mexico regain control after a difficult stretch.

Mateo Chavez (6/10):
Had more touches on the ball than Jorge Sanchez on the opposite flank but was not as influential as Gallardo had been in the first half. Still offered a reliable presence on the left.

Eduardo Aguila (6/10):
Was not challenged enough for a complete assessment, but looked mature alongside Alvarez in central defense. Handled the match with composure.

Kevin Castañeda (5/10):
Will not be involved at the World Cup, but he remains one to watch for the future, especially if he continues scoring next season with Xolos.

Luis Chavez (5/10):
It would be useful to see him start one of these friendlies to get a better sense of where he stands. Mexico could still benefit from his quality on set pieces and long-range passing.

Isaias Violante (5/10):
Made multiple runs down the right flank, but many of his passes did not reach the intended target. Had energy but needed more precision.

Iker Fimbres (6/10):
In the few attacking actions he took part in, he usually made the right pass. Showed good decision-making in limited minutes.

Luis Rey (5/10):
The local player appeared in his home stadium but did not influence the final score. Rey is another young player who could remain part of Mexico’s long-term plans.

Javier Aguirre (7/10):
Continues to balance youth and experience, which is not an easy task at this stage of the process. Aguirre is finding ways to make it work, and El Tri remain undefeated in 2026.
