Martino accomplishes Mexico mission with big wins, imposing style of play

The manager is two for two after a convincing win over Paraguay once again showed the team is grasping the style of play he desires

Mexico is two for two in the Tata Martino era.

No, not in victories, though El Tri moved its record to 2-0-0 since the Argentine took over with a 4-2 victory against Paraguay on Tuesday. In going up 3-0 on opponents. This time, it took less than 25 minutes as Mexico came out firing and was rewarded with an insurmountable lead midway through the first half.

Paraguay didn't help its case, with defender Bruno Valdez heading an attempted clearance straight to Jonathan dos Santos on the opening goal and Gustavo Gomez putting the ball into his own net for Mexico's second.
