México was able to overcome a slow start and conceding a goal just before the end of the first half, scoring four against Perú in the second half to get a 5-1 victory at Estadio Corona TSM. Perú hung tough but was clearly outgunned in the second half by a deep Mexican team.
The match started off perhaps a bit disjointed but with México looking more functional. México pressured Perú early and often, forcing turnovers from poor passes and clumsy touches. Perú to their credit was strong in defense, keeping players back and being careful not to get caught out of position.
