Hirving Lozano won't start for Mexico against Peru at Sports Illustrated Stadium, days after returning to El Tri in Rafael Marquez's debut draw with Colombia. Mexico faces Peru at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, on Tuesday night, with Hirving Lozano expected to keep his place on the left wing after making his long-awaited return to El Tri in the 1-1 draw against Colombia. The international friendly is the second of four games on Mexico’s schedule in this FIFA window under new head coach Rafael Marquez. Lozano had not played for Mexico since March 2024, having been left out throughout Javier Aguirre’s tenure. Marquez brought the San Diego FC winger, currently on loan at LA Galaxy, back for his first squad and handed him a start against Colombia. “I think Hirving can still give us something more. He’s a difference-maker,” Marquez said when explaining the decision. However, he will not start against Peru on Tuesday. That draw in Baltimore came courtesy of Gilberto Mora, who canceled out Luis Suarez’s ninth-minute opener with a 62nd-minute equalizer to become the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Mexican national team at 17. Peru, meanwhile, arrives in need of a response after a 4-1 loss to the USMNT in Orlando on Saturday, with Gianluca Lapadula scoring the lone goal for Mano Menezes’ side.
