As reigning champions, many believed Mexico would sail through this group, but the stubbornness of Jamaica has halted their advance.
The Mexicans were 3-1 winners against El Salvador in their opening game as Elias Hernandez took the opportunity to shine.
The winger scored and provided two assists, with his country missing a host of top names absent from the competition.
The Liga MX talent gave manager Juan Carlos Osorio thoughts of excitement, but Mexico were stopped in their tracks against the Reggae Boyz.
amaica held out for a goalless draw against Mexico, taking qualification down to the final game.
El Tri are unlikely to be worried about facing Curacao—a side who are yet to find the back of the net and have conceded four at the Gold Cup.
Even with a depleted squad, Osorio should have too much talent at his disposal not to win the encounter.
However, Curacao topped their group at the 2017 Caribbean Cup but have appeared short of the quality to compete on a bigger stage.
El Salvador have an improving set of players in their ranks, but it will be a shock if they eliminate the Jamaicans.
Los Cuscatlecos kept pace with Mexico for long periods of their first game at the tournament, but with Jamaica needing just a draw, qualification appears unlikely.
