The Gold Cup holders won the key statistics, with 16-11 shots and 54-46 per cent possession, but were made to work for the win by El Salvador, who finish second in the group.
El Salvador only needed a draw to finish ahead of Mexico to top the group and almost got their equaliser from Alexander Larin’s 70th minute free-kick which hit the post.
Mexico took the lead when Tigres full-back Rodriguez pushed forward, receiving the ball on the right side of the box, cutting inside before shooting for the winner.
