While Mexico’s team of top-tier players fell short of advancing to the Confederations Cup final in Russia this week, Mexico’s B team capped its series of pre-Gold Cup friendlies by cruising to a 2-1 win over Paraguay in Seattle on Saturday night.
Mexico scored early — in the 19th minute — and held the lead from that point forward in the international friendly played at CenturyLink Field in front of 37,011, most of whom were supporting Mexico.
For Mexico, the game served as a final tuneup match before it begins the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the regional championship of North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
