Mexico vs. Peru: Score and Twitter Reaction from 2015 Friendly

Mexico and Peru met at Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru, for a friendly on Wednesday night. It was an offensive struggle for both sides, though the two sides traded goals in the second half en route to a 1-1 draw.

Jefferson Farfan provided the game's first goal, putting Peru ahead 1-0 in the 62nd minute, but Mexico answered thanks to a Juan Valenzuela header from Luis Montes in the 76th minute to save his team from a shutout defeat.

The Mexican squad was looking to keep building momentum for the Copa America beginning on July 11. This is certainly not the definitive answer that head coach Miguel Herrera was seeking from his group, looking outmatched most of the way before Valenzuela's heroics.
