Despite an aggressive start and a plus-two shot advantage, Mexico fell 4-1 to Uruguay at NRG Stadium on Friday in their first showing since their round of 16 World Cup exit this summer.
Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez carried his country with a brace and an assist.
On a Mexico team that featured only seven players from this summer's squad, forward Raul Jimenez talked about his eagerness to fill the scoring void left by stars like Javier Hernandez and Giovani dos Santos.
