Nathaniel Méndez-Laing saw action with Milton Keynes Dons in England, although his team could not add. The Guatemalan box fell 0-1 in front of the Walsall in a duel where the attacker played important minutes, prior to undertaking a trip to Guatemala to join the concentration of the blue and white.

Escobar remained on the pitch for 82 minutes and was part of the 1-1 draw at BMO Field, showing consistency in his performance. After the meeting, it is expected that he travels to Guatemala to join the work of the National Team.
Another of those who highlighted in the United States was Arquímides Ordóñez, who was present again on the scoreboard. The attacker scored in the victory of the Soudoun United 3-1 against Miami, confirming the good moment that crosses and raising his hand as one of the offensive letters of greater weight for the next challenges of the Guatemalan team.
For its part, Aaron Herrera also had participation during the weekend in the MLS. The Guatemalan defender started in the victory of DC United 2-1 against New York City in a visit, demonstrating regularity and adding confidence before putting on the national shirt.
