Mexico closes out European tour with victory over Costa Rica

Mexico struggled but were able to get a 1-0 win over Costa Rica in their second and last friendly of their March European tour. Mexico was the better side for most of the match, but continued to suffer from a lack of offense. Costa Rica gave a better run than expected, although the key to the match was Mexico’s substitutions that turned the game completely around and had Mexico dominating the last 20 minutes. Mexico concludes their FIFA dates and will now wait until May to return to action, with friendlies before the CONCACAF Nations league where they are set to play against Costa Rica again.
