Mexico open Gold Cup with 7-0 rout

Uriel Antuna scored a hat-trick as Mexico opened their 2019 Gold Cup campaign with a 7-0 rout over Cuba.

It took just two minutes for El Tri to get their first when Uriel Antuna found the back of the net following a loose ball inside the box.

After a pair of missed chances, Mexico made it 2-0 in the 30th minute, with Raul Jimenez controlling inside the box before slotting past the Cuban goalkeeper.

The third goal arrived moments later. This time it was Diego Reyes who found himself with a rebound inside the box to fire in the 3-0.
