Coccacaf gold cup.Maxico National football team.Qatar

 The Mexico national football team and the Qatar national football team met in the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup on July 3, 2023, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Mexico was the clear favorite going into the match, as they are the defending champions of the Gold Cup and have a much longer history of success in international competition. Qatar, on the other hand, is a relatively new team on the international stage and had never qualified for the World Cup before 2022.

The match was a close affair, with neither team able to break the deadlock in the first half. However, Qatar took the lead in the 52nd minute through Mohammed Waad. Mexico pressed for an equalizer for the rest of the match, but they were unable to find a way through the Qatari defense. The match ended in a 1-0 victory for Qatar, which was a major upset.

This was the second time that Qatar had played Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The first time was in 2021, and that match also ended in a 1-0 victory for Qatar. This result suggests that Qatar is a team that Mexico should not take lightly, even though they are not members of CONCACAF.

The win over Mexico was a major boost for Qatar's preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. It showed that they are capable of beating top-level teams, and it will give them a lot of confidence going into the tournament. Mexico, on the other hand, will be disappointed with the result, but they will still be considered one of the favorites to win the Gold Cup.
