The Mexican national soccer team under-22 defeated Canada by a score of 2-0 and obtained the ticket for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and the chance to defend the gold medal achieved in London in 2012.





The goals were scored by Erick Torres on the sixth minute into the game, and Hirving Lozano on the 56. 'El Tri' will now look for the CONCACAF Pre-Olympic tournament championship facing Honduras, which already has obtained the ticket to the Olympics.

The Mexicans seemed in control of the game from the start, but the Canadians were always on the lookout for some mistake enabling them to score, but the opportunity never came since they seemed a bit lacking motivation.

Things got exciting on the 78 minute when the referee called a foul from the Mexicans, and Michael Petrosso tried to break the defense from goalie Manuel Lajud, who blocked the shot and sealed the Mexican's ticket for Rio.
