Mexico battled back from going down 2-0 to get a 2-2 tie against Australia in the first friendly of the Jaime Lozano era. Mexico struggled against a very defensive side who sat back and countered, a style that gives Mexico fits. Still, Mexico made some good plays and finished as the better team although they weren’t able to get the victory. Mexico will now travel to Atlanta to face Uzbekistan, in their final match of this September FIFA break.
The match started with Mexico coming out with possibly their best starting 11 available, with few surprises including Hector Herrera getting his first start with Mexico since the 2022 World Cup.
