Jasmine Casarez's participation in the first game is worth highlighting, as she was very decisive, especially in the first 45 minutes, as she scored a brace and if she repeats as a starter, which she surely will, she will look to continue increasing her scoring quota in this short tournament.

One of the players who stood out in the first game, not only for her two goals, but also for her contribution on the attacking front, is midfielder Paola Calderón, who could be one of the keys for La Selecta to tip the scales in its favor.

Itzel González, Kenti Robles, Rebeca Bernal, Greta Espinoza, Karal Nieto, Alexia Delgado, Miah Zuazua, Jaqueline Ovalle, Kiana Palacios, Christian Burkenroad, Jasmine Casarez.

1 Idalia Serrano, 3 Priscila Ortiz, 4 Elaily Hernandez, 2 Juana Plata, 17 Nicolle Amaya, 15 Paola Calderon, 14 Danya Gutierrez, 16 Victoria Meza, 6 Alejandra Chirino, 10 Brenda Ceren, 7 Daniella Fuentes.

The Mexico Women's National Team began its participation in the Central American and Caribbean Games 2023 on the right foot with a 4-0 win over Puerto Rico, highlighting that although the score was a landslide, the reality is that the team coached by Pedro Lopez could have had a greater goal difference, which is why the definition will be one of the points to improve against the hosts. If they win, they will be assured of a place in the next round.

El Salvador Women looked very good in their opening game and were convincing enough to beat Jamaica and earn their first points of the sector, although the locals know that if they want to aspire to something important in the tournament, they have to show what they are made of and this will be a litmus test to see what level they are at and if they can fight for the gold medal.

The El Salvador vs Mexico match will be played at the Nacional Las Delicias Stadium, in San Salvador, El Salvador. The kick-off is scheduled at 9:00 pm ET.
