Mexico dominated Iceland 4–0 in an International Friendly on 26 February, with the hosts' superior attacking efficiency proving decisive. Operating in a 4-1-4-1 formation, Mexico generated 24 shots with 11 on target, translating to 2.44 expected goals despite converting four times—a clinical performance that exposed Iceland's defensive vulnerabilities. Iceland, set up defensively in a 5-4-1 shape, managed only four shots and 0.4 xG, offering minimal attacking threat throughout. Mexico's goalkeeper recorded a 63.64 per cent save percentage across limited action, while Iceland's backline proved unable to contain the hosts' creative play. The gulf in quality was evident in shot volume and territorial control, with Mexico's 4-1-4-1 midfield structure allowing them to control tempo and transition efficiently into attack. Steven Madrigal oversaw a one-sided contest that served as an ideal preparation opportunity for Mexico ahead of competitive fixtures. Mexico's attacking prowess suggests strong momentum heading into upcoming qualifiers.
