Late goal gives Mexico draw against Cameroon in final summer friendly

Mexico closed out their summer friendlies with a 2-2 tie against Cameroon in a match played in San Diego. A late injury time goal saved coach Diego Cocca from his first loss as Mexico’s National Team coach. El Tri struggled at times, but overall got a deserved point in a very even match against Cameroon. Mexico are now set to begin the first of their two summer tournaments with their Nations League Finals semifinal clash against the United States in Paradise, Nevada on Thursday.

The match began with the news that Carlos Acevedo, the original starting goalkeeper, got injured during warmups and had to miss the match.
