The last marquee-friendly match of the March international break is Mexico vs Belgium at Soldier Field.
Both teams played last Saturday, with Mexico playing against Portugal and Belgium playing against the USMNT.
Belgium played against the USMNT at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Belgium won 5-2. Belgium was 1-0 down with a goal from Weston McKennie, but the Belgians responded with five goals.
Zeno Debast, Amadou Onana, Charles De Ketelaere, and two goals from Dodi Lukebakio led to this impressive comeback win on U.S. soil.
Mexico played against Portugal at the renovated Estadio Azteca, and the match finished in a 0-0 draw.
