Mexico 4, Iraq 0: check

Related Topics: Iraq, Mexico

It almost coudn’t have been any other way as Mexico routed an extremely talent-deprived and limited Iraq squad 4-0 in their second to last friendly before heading to Qatar. It was an all around dominant performance with little to no danger for keeper Talavera to deal with, while Mexico’s attacking opportunities appeared to be endless. 19 total shots (6 on target) with 74% ball possession against 1 total shot (0 on target) and 26% possession. That pretty much sums it up.

From the start, you could tell it would be a totally one-sided affair. Iraq were set up with a 5-4-1 inside their own half, practically begging Mexico to take the initiative and attack.
