Martino: Argentina hammering isn't Mexico's reality - but neither is 11 games unbeaten

The South Americans secured a comprehensive friendly win over their opponents although their manager isn't too concerned by the heavy defeat

Mexico manager Tata Martino insists his team is better than the scoreline showed in the 4-0 loss to Argentina but suggested they shouldn't be judged on the 11-game winning streak that came before it.

A hat-trick from Lautaro Martinez and a converted penalty sent the South Americans into the half-time interval 4-0 ahead, with El Tri unable able to recover and only registering their first shot on goal in stoppage time.

Yet even with many of his best players on the field, Martino said his team's true ranking is somewhere in between what it has showed in the past and the level of performance in the defeat to Argentina.
