Tijuana vs El Salvador

Club Tijuana and El Salvador couldn't be separated at Track Y Field, sharing a 0-0 draw on July 10 to close out La Selecta's California preseason tour. The standout subplot was Leonardo Menjívar's first start of the concentration camp, with coach Hernán Darío Gómez handing the midfielder his opening nod in a 3-5-2 formation. With neither side able to break the deadlock, chances were hard to come by in a tight, tactical contest. Jairo Henríquez and Rafael Tejada carried the attacking responsibility for El Salvador but were kept at bay throughout, while Club Tijuana held firm under coach Sebastián Abreu as the Xolos continue building toward the Apertura 2026 season. The draw wrapped up a mixed but telling US camp for El Salvador — one win over LA Galaxy, a 3-0 loss to LAFC, and now a stalemate against Mexican opposition. Bolillo Gómez will have plenty to work with ahead of the CONCACAF Nations League, while Xolos take a solid defensive showing into their Liga MX preparations.
