Mexico vs. USA: Both teams tied at one goal

Being a tight game, the Mexicans were ahead on the scoreboard until the second half, when an error by the US defense allowed forward Uriel Antuna to steal the ball and go solo against the goalkeeper. The Laguna player placed the ball cornered and thus advanced the Tricolor.

After the Mexican team’s goal fell, the team led by Anthony Hudson desperately tried to find an equalizer, and that’s what happened at minute 81 when striker Jesús Ferreira took the opportunity to push the ball into the back of the net and make it 1 to 1.

They start the game with no goals

The first 45 minutes played with both alternate teams as the Mexicans dominated with more opportunities to score a goal. However, the Mexican forwards had no luck and went into the break with the score tied at zero.
