Mexico boasts the quality in attack to punish Jamaica. Specifically, winger Elias Hernandez proved a star turn against El Salvador.

SAN DIEGO, CA - JULY 09:  Benji Villalobos #22 of El Salvador is hit in the face by a shot on goal from Elias Hernandez #11 of Mexico during the second half of a 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup Group C match at Qualcomm Stadium on July 9, 2017 in San Diego, Califo

Hernandez "scored one goal and assisted on the other two, including a pinpoint set-piece delivery to the head of Hedgardo Marin to open the scoring," per Charles Boehm of MLSSoccer.com. Playing the Club Leon man with intelligent forward Martin Barragan and Chivas' attacking midfielder Orbelin Pineda gives Mexico ample fluidity in the final third.

Winning in the opener came while manager Juan Carlos Osorio missed out through suspension. In his place, assistant Luis Pompilio Paez oversaw things.

Paez was left impressed, but he called for El Tri to maintain concentration, particularly when defending a lead, per the tournament's official website: "They have to be able to keep the same mentality after we score, so that the opponent doesn’t take advantage of a lapse and begin to attack and score."

Jamaica's best chance of earning an upset win will likely reside with forward Darren Mattocks. The 26-year-old scored against Curacao and saves his best for tournament play, per Boehm.

Mattocks helped Jamaica get off to a winning start.

The bigger question for the Reggae Boyz will be whether they can keep things tight enough at the back to resist the pace, perceptive movement and artful passing Mexico are sure to unleash on them.

It's easy to believe Mexico will dispatch Jamaica with room to spare. El Tri usually save their best for the Gold Cup, and this match is the perfect time for the holders to showcase their quality.
