Heading into the game against Jamaica, Mexico looked like one of the best sides in the cup. Against El Salvador, El Tri played aggressively and created plenty of scoring opportunities. However, this was not the case against Jamaica.
From the start, Mexico controlled possession of the ball. The Jamaicans gave them plenty of space in the midfield.
However, once Mexico got near Jamaica’s side of the field, the Reggae Boyz swarmed the ball. They pressured well, forcing Mexico to move the ball back to the middle of the field.
Mexican strikers Erick “Cubo” Torres (Houston) and Rodolfo Pizarro (Chivas) never found clear space to shoot.
