Mexico Breeze Past Bahrain for 2-0 Win at 2019 Toulon Tournament

Mexico made a winning start at the Tournoi Maurice Revello on Monday, as they beat Bahrain 2-0 at the Toulon event.

El Tri made a rapid start to the match, with goals from Ismael Govea and Jairo Torres putting them two goals ahead inside just 10 minutes. Things could have been even worse for Bahrain too, as Mexico dominated the opening period and hit the woodwork through Jesus Godinez.

The second half was effectively a non-event, with Mexico content holding possession and Bahrain seemingly keen to avoid a hammering.

The victory sees Mexico join the Republic of Ireland on three points after one game in Group C; the latter were able to get the better of China 4-1 earlier in the day.
