Mexico had the perfect set-up last night. With Jamaica down to 10 men just before the half for a brutal challenge on Andrés Guardado, they had the entire second half to score a single goal and hold off the Caribbean squad led by HC Paul Hall. Of course, much easier said than done, right? Well, for all the powerful NTs around the world, it isn’t. They take care of business when needed and rarely let an opportunity like that pass. And I guess that’s what Mexico did in the end, right? So, all is good? Not really.
The Mexican NT had just over 75% of ball possession, 19 total shots (only 6 on goal), 8 corner kicks, and triple the passes completed than that of their rivals.
