Mexico vs. Curacao: Time, Live-Stream and TV Schedule for 2017 Gold Cup

Mexico face Curacao in Group C of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday, as the holders attempt to seal qualification for the next stage.

The Mexicans are tied at the top with Jamaica, and they must observe the Reggae Boyz's game against El Salvador as they push to progress.

Victory should be well within their capabilities against Curacao, who have lost twice at the tournament.

Here is how you can watch the action:

Date: Sunday, July 16

Time: 8:30 p.m. (ET)/1:30 a.m. (BST, on Monday)

TV: Fox Sports 1

Stream: Fox Sports Go, fubo.tv

Mexico entered the tournament as defending champions and potential winners, but their opening to the Gold Cup has been less than simple.

El Tri defeated El Salvador 3-1 in San Diego, but a goalless draw against Jamaica has left the group undecided.

Only a shocking defeat to Curacao could see Mexico give up one of the qualification places on goal difference, and that's not expected given the opposition and their quality.

Mexico boss Juan Carlos Osorio remains suspended after being punished at the FIFA Confederations Cup, leaving coaching responsibilities to his staff on the touchline at the competition.

Curacao are aware the Mexicans are short of their best talent, but whether they can fashion El Tri's weakness into a win is unknown—but it remains unlikely.

The Caribbean nation are yet to score at the Gold Cup and have conceded four times in their two games.

Mexico must not be complacent against their final group opponents, but they will have too much in the tank for Curacao.

Jamaica could yet seal top spot in Group C, but they lack the firepower available to El Tri.

Osorio's selection is a rotated option after the Confederations Cup, but the presence of Elias Hernandez should provide success.

The player was the hero against El Salvador, scoring and twice assisting, and his role will be pivotal on Sunday.
