Seven-times champions Mexico sealed their spot in the knockout stage of the Gold Cup with a 3-1 victory over Canada in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday.

El Tri, who thrashed Cuba 7-0 in their Group A opener, faced a sterner test but still had little trouble breaking down the Canada defence, with a second-half brace from Andres Guardado sealing the win after Roberto Alvarado scored before the break.Mexico had a slew of early chances, none better than in the 29th minute when Jonathan Dos Santos blasted over from 12 yards out.

Canada nearly equalised in the 53rd minute when Alphonso Davies found space after storming down the left wing but his shot went just wide of the far post. Mexico, who last won the biennial event in 2015, again responded quickly as Guardado scored in the 77th minute when his shot went in after deflecting off Davies' foot and then the post.
